EDITOR’S NOTES Dear Readers, A lot is going on in the world right now that is both unpredictable and warrants a pause and a chance to reflect. Events, however, both at home and abroad, have not put the brakes on the path to success for the organizations we covered in our February issue. Now that we have sunk our teeth into the new fiscal year and January is in our rearview mirror, our February issue dives into how 2026 plans are playing out among the organizations, municipalities, and airports we covered for our current issue. Flying firmly into the second month of the new calendar year, February’s issue set its flight path towards McAlester Regional Airport and Dodge City Regional Airport for an aviation clear view. We had the opportunity to speak at length with both Airport Directors about dynamic airport improvement plans, infrastructure upgrades, and both airports’ commitment to providing a happy landing every time. As airports gear up for growth, so too are municipalities throughout North America. Each municipality, covered in our February issue, is prioritizing residents and remains committed to implementing master plans that range from downtown street scapes to offering a choice of amenities and new business and industrial expansion for the year ahead. In this issue, we profiled Dumas, Texas, Hudsonville, Michigan, La Grange Park, Illinois, Lakeville, Minnesota, Loves Park, Illinois, Plainville, Texas, Sun Land Park, New Mexico, Villa Rica, Georgia, and Westville, Washington, among other municipalities and counties. Without exception, city officials are doing what is needed to ensure top housing, business, and infrastructure projects to ensure a seamless transition to 2026. Turning to business growth, we also covered impressive and fast-growing companies and organizations, including Koru Health and Sapphire Metal Finishing, Ward Memorial Hospital, and Tioga State Bank. These companies continue to demonstrate leadership, innovation, and produce noteworthy projects to expand their growing business foothold. Our February issue continues to bring you our popular school district series. We spoke with Alleghany County Schools, Andover Regional School District, Basehor-Linwood School District, East Baton Rouge Parish School System, Freehold Borough Schools, Great Meadows Regional School District, Lloydminster Public School Division 99, Mendon-Upton School District, Peery County Schools, Ruch County Schools, Sampson County Schools, St Charles Parish Public Schools, Waterford School District and Sterling College among other top school districts. All of these educational powerhouses are providing students with hands-on educational opportunities and real-world experiences as they proudly serve their communities As the economy continues to evolve rapidly, Business View Magazine keeps on top of it all.
