EDITOR’S NOTES Dear Readers, For all those that have not come to terms with how fast time is flying, look no further than your calendar. It is October already!. I don’t know about you, but I was just getting used to the fact that September had rolled around and now we are not that far away from Halloween and the multitude of October festivities. Depending on where you live, you have probably been able to enjoy the beauty of the fall leaves and savored this amazing time of year. As the fall marches on, we continue to bring you unparalleled business features on everything from major municipalities to dynamic airports dotted throughout North America. For our October Bishop we landed at International Airport, Boulder City Municipal Airport and Ogdensburg International Airport. We had the opportunity to speak at length with all three of these dynamic Airport Directors to talk about all things aviation. With a firm navigational map in hand, each airport has produced results that signal growth on the horizon as they work to accommodate aviation growth ahead. From flying high to getting the civic job done, we had the opportunity to profile some thriving and dynamic municipalities for our October issue. Our features detail each municipality’s top initiatives and look into their masterplans ahead. Business View’s October pages are filled with captivating features with city officials from Billerica, Massachusetts, Collinsville, Oklahoma, Dahlonega, Georgia, Lyon County, Kansas, Macomb, Illinois, Montvale, New Jersey, Morrisville, North Carolina, and North Chicago, Illinois. Turning to business growth, we also covered impressive and fast-growing companies and organizations, including All Care Health, Allens Plumbing, Architectural Surfaces, Astra Bank, Capital Auto Group, Centera Bank, Elevator Services Inc., GN Bank, Horsepower Brands, Roland E. Powell Convention Center and Malarkay Roofing Products among others. These companies continue to demonstrate leadership and produce noteworthy projects to strengthen their business foothold and point their economic GPS towards further growth. Our October issue also continues to bring you our popular school district series. We had the opportunity to sit down with school officials from several leading school districts to discuss the pivot to the changing demands of the economy and their innovative approaches to ensure students are college and career-ready while always being put first. We spoke with Dighton-Rehoboth School District, Elmwood Park Public Schools, Grass Lake Community Schools, Hazleton Area School District, McNairy County School District, Mena Public Schools and Ridgefield Park Public Schools. Providing students with hands-on educational opportunities and real-world experiences is propelling these school districts into leading roles within their communities and beyond. As we continue to bring you sector and industryfocused features, we will keep a keen eye on current economic developments and business readiness to provide the best business view.
