EDITOR’S NOTES Dear Readers, With hardly a moment to reflect on the holiday season, a new year has arrived on our doorstep. Although undeniably an adjustment, the end of one calendar year provides a springboard to a productive year ahead. We always look forward to publishing our new year edition because each of our features reflect an air of optimism, promise and a clean slate for businesses, organizations and municipalities as many look to implement projects and business agendas while firmly setting their GPS to 2026. Although there is a lot going on in the world right now that warrants a pause and reflection, events both at home and abroad have not put the brakes on the path to success for the organizations we covered in our January issue. Flying firmly into the new calendar year, January’s issue touched down at Liberal- Mid America Regional Airport for a clear view of this dynamic aviation hub. We had the opportunity to speak at length with the Airport Director about its masterplan ahead and firm commitment to its passengers. This airport is a shining example of the increased role regional airports are playing from coast to coast. Airports are not the only ones taking flight in 2026, municipalities throughout North America are also reaching higher civic heights. Each municipality is putting its residents first and are busy 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. This issue brings you profile features of Alamo, Texas, Bicknell, Indiana, Castle Pines, Colorado, Dayton, Texas, Lee, Massachusetts, Greenfield, Indiana, Seagoville, Texas, Dayton, Tennessee, Parry Sound, Ontario and Pilot Point, Texas 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 Burg Properties, Choice NY Management, GEMCO, Kitsap Construction, Lenard Crafted Homes, Safe Life Defense, SLV Homes and Winsert. These companies continue to demonstrate leadership, innovation and produce noteworthy projects to expand their business foothold as we look ahead. Our January issue continues to bring you our popular school district series. We spoke with the Anahuak Independent School District, El Dorado Public Schools, Galveston Independent School District, Grand Forks Public Schools, Greensburg Community School Cooperation, Portage public Schools, Randolph Central School Corporation, Rocky River City School District, Spencer-Owen Community Schools, St Lucie County School Board, Suffolk Public Schools, Tri- County School Corporation among other top school districts. All of these educational powerhouse are providing students with hands-on educational opportunities and real-world experiences as they proudly serve their communities. Happy New Year from Business View Magazine! We hope that this year brings with it success, happiness and time well spent with those you care about. We look forward to bringing the very best B2B features each and every month. Karen Surca Editor in Chief 2 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 13, ISSUE 01
