One of our amazing greeting card artists, Wendy Shaft, shared some exciting news from her home base of Williamston, Michigan that I thought was worth passing on to you all.
Despite all of the gloom-and-doom predictions about the current economy, small business owners in her town are digging in their heels and opening up new businesses. Last month, the Williamston Chamber of Commerce hosted ribbon-cutting ceremonies for six new businesses in one day! A huge accomplishment for a town with a population of around 10,000 residents.
In fact, CBS National News is sending Katie Couric and her news crew to cover Williamston and its fearless business owners! I’m so glad that the media is taking time to “shine a light” on how small businesses are charging ahead despite a tough economy.
And, I’m sure that Williamston is just one example of towns across the country where small business owners are preserving right now. It’s a great reminder that small businesses are the cornerstone of the U.S economy and help keep Main Street on the map…no matter what’s happening on Wall Street.
