Dear Readers,
It always amazes me how quickly the summer days disappear from underneath us, like the water from the many inflatable pools that are being drained in backyards across the county as families anticipate the autumn months ahead.
As summer winds down, companies, as well as city officials from the many towns, cities, and municipalities dotted throughout the country are gearing up for a busy few months ahead.
We had a chance to sit down with executives representing some of the country’s most dynamic companies to discuss their upcoming business agenda. We also spoke with representatives from a host of some of the fastest-growing regions across the US to determine how they are anticipating economic expansion and still putting their valued residents first.
Our August issue is brimming with success stories that we are eager to share with you as you enjoy the last few days of the lazy hazy days of summer.
Tourism numbers are up, commercial development is ripe and infrastructure initiatives have taken center stage for the municipalities that we interviewed. We sat down with city officials from Anniston and Alexander, Alabama, Austell, Georgia, College Park and Cummings, Georgia, Harrison, Arkansas, Johnstown, Colorado, London, Ohio to Montvale and Newton, New Jersey.
As business retention and attraction numbers continue to rise and upgrades to vital municipal services are in full swing for these regions, all without exception are ensuring that the needs of their residents take center stage.
When it comes to dynamic companies, we were privileged to interview a number of some of the leaders in their fields. All those we spoke to are experiencing impressive revenue growth numbers and have an impressive business agenda moving into the last quarter of 2023.
We profiled All American Pet Resorts, Browning Harvey, Enerplus, FST Logistics, Hague Partners, Tint World Franchising, and Tailored Management for our current issue.
Rounding out the calendar fiscal year, all of these successful companies are forging ahead with an exciting calendar lineup of dynamic initiatives that cater to their valued client base.
Also flying into the last quarter of 2023, are some of the fastest-growing regional airports in the US and we spoke to their Airport Directors for a front-row seat into some of their upcoming plans to meet increased aviation traffic.
We were fortunate to profile Canyonlands Regional Airport, Eastland Municipal Airport, Goderich Regional Airport, Heronia Airport, Laughlin-Bullhead International Airport, and Mount Vernon Outland Airport for a birdseye view into the airport initiative taking off.
With all our profiles we hope that our valued business leaders learn a little something new about their relevant business sector as well as something about key developments within other business sectors that may serve to increase productivity and represent a model to strive for.
As we continue to bring you features covering the very best in business, aviation, and municipal developments, we hope that the last days of summer are spent with family and friends, enjoying relaxing fun, and building great memories for the year ahead.
