Dear Readers,
It seems as if we blink our eyes and a year passes with ease. I am finding it hard to believe as I write the editor’s letter to our valued readers that July is here when I feel that last July seems like just a few months ago.
The hazy and lazy days of summer have officially arrived. Many backyard barbecues and hot weather swims in the local pool beckon, as well as time well spent with family before we gear up for another school year.
It may be a summer vacation for many families, however the organizations that we had the chance to interview, as well as civic governments, airports and associations across North America, are in full gear rolling out new investments and economic initiatives that speak to increased productivity and an equally sunny few months ahead. Every one that we covered for our July issue has come out on top by every measure with all signs pointing to a winning third fiscal quarter.
For our July issue, we touched down at Florence Regional Airport, Las Cruces International Airport, Morgantown Municipal Airport and Yakama Air Terminal-McAllister Field. We caught up with Aviation Directors from these dynamic aviation hubs. With a master plan in place, confidently meeting continued aviation growth, and playing a vital economic link to the region, these airports continue to see aviation growth and are part of the overall vision propelling these airports through 2025.
From the air to the city streets below, we had the opportunity to profile some thriving and dynamic municipalities for our July issue. We flew to the heart of each of these communities and undercovered what their recipe for continued growth and success entails while striving to meet resident demands.
Business View’s pages are filled with engaging features with city officials from Alachua, Florida, Augusta, Ontario, Black Diamond, Washington, Clemson, South Carolina, Dover, Delaware, Fairfield, California, Franklin, Ohio, Manor, Texas and Newberry, South Carolina among other fast-growing municipalities.
Each municipality we covered in July showed continued growth numbers and ambitious plans to push further towards continued success for the third financial quarter of 2025.
Turning to business growth we also covered impressive and fast growing companies and organizations including Consolidate Minerals Inc, Gonyea Custom Homes, Kenwood Telecom, Lucid Bots, Locke Supply Co. and Zentro Internet among others. As the July sun strengthens, all these companies show leadership and produce noteworthy projects to strengthen their business foothold and point their economic GPS towards further growth.
Our July 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 the James Bay Lowlands Secondary School, Marion Independent School District, Dilly Independent School District, Miami Trace Local School District, North Dakota State College of Science and the School District of Indian River County among others . With thriving masterplans, each school division shows strides and is adapting to the challenges ahead.
As we continue to bring you sector and industry-focused features, we will keep a keen eye on current economic developments and business readiness to provide the best business view.
