March 2020 | "Small Business Strong" from Live Local USA

Our current health/financial scenario is a true wake up call, one which has spurred many of you to mobilize and unite. Over the last week we've seen efforts launched by both organizations and ordinary people who have stepped up to assist entrepreneurs in the community, educate area residents about the value of local spending, and pass on the message that right now is a critical time for small businesses everywhere.

In the Midst of Turmoil, Universality Could Be What Unites Us

We've been given an opportunity friends, did you know that? Appearing in the midst of a global crisis there is a chance for unified understanding and community-driven solutions - a time when across the country, we the small business owners, local government leaders and area residents are all facing virtually the same situation. (I shudder at the thought of adding in "unprecedented scenario", because it seems that phrase has been uttered multiple times by every news channel on the planet, but I'm going to use it because it pretty accurately describes our current climate).
