Dear Readers,
If there is one thing that is most associated with May it is a renewal of sorts as we shed winter layers and look forward to the summer months that lie before us. This year may be a little different than years gone by as there are a number of developments taking place around the world that have everyone wondering what next.
One thing that we are certain about, however, is that every one of those that we were privileged to profile for our May issue has come out on top in every way. Despite the current challenges we face, these cities, counties, school districts, organizations, and companies are all thriving and dedicated to rolling out new initiatives to help ensure future success.
We had the good fortune to bring you success stories and initiatives that have led to a winning second fiscal quarter. All those we interviewed shared their recipe for success, solidifying a solid footing moving forward. It remains an exciting experience to gain a bird’s-eye view of such productive business models.
For our May issue, we touched down at Indianapolis Executive Airport and Knox County Regional Airport. We caught up with both 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.
We also had the opportunity to cover a diverse group of municipalities for this month’s issue. As our in-depth profiles revealed, dedicated master plans, bold initiatives, and critical infrastructure upgrades top the agenda. Civic and county officials continue to put their residents first.
Business View’s pages are filled with fascinating features with city officials from Cabot, Arkansas, Greenville, Texas, Helotes, Texas, Marcy, New York, Mount Olive, New Jersey, Taunton, MA, Tillsonburg, Ontario, Valley Stream, New York, Wappinger, New York, West Springfield, MA, and Zephyrhills, Florida among other fast-growing municipalities.
Each municipality we covered in May showed continued growth numbers, residential projects to address the ongoing housing shortage, as well as thought-out master plans addressing everything on their residents’ wish lists.
In our May issue, we also covered impressive and evolving companies and organizations including Case Facilities Management, Dekra-Lite Industries, John S. Knight Center, Mr. Softee, Parametrix, and WESTPAK, among others. As May flies by, all these companies show leadership and produce noteworthy projects to strengthen their business foothold and point their economic GPS towards further growth.
Our May 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 Binghamton City School District, Gallup McKinley County Schools, New Albany-Floyd County Consolidate School Corporation, Paradise Valley Unified School District, the New Prairie United School Corporation, and the South Dearborn Community School Corporation. 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.
