The Importance of Small Towns
The Importance of Small TownsBrittany Misner, Vice President of the Licking County Chamber of Commerce Small towns are where the mantras such as shop local, eat fresh, and support your local farmer were created.

How the Coronavirus is Affecting Businesses
I wrote an article for the Newark Advocate this month that posed the following questions: “How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your business and how should we reopen in a responsible manner?” While this is not an easy subject to tackle, it is on the mind of everyone these days.
