individuals and companies. So when you own and operate a business here, you can even hire local when it comes to designing your website. So would you say that your identity hasn’t changed but rather that it has grown? ND: I’d say that we’re in the business of providing quality infrastructure and an environment for business success and growth. The economy is the leading driver for every- thing that makes a town, a municipality; this impacts what is available for residents, for families. And so, we have to pay attention to businesses and work in partnership with them whether they are an anchor business, a small or medium-sized business, or a start-up. As times change, so does the business environment and creating opportunities means keeping up with trends and strategies – and that’s something we take very seriously. We recently held a Virtual Job Fair here in New Glasgow and it really reinforced something that I’m always thinking of: What will the economy and the Town look like in 20 years? We have a viable and sustainable community and how to keep it that way is engaging the people and making sure that every kind of business thrives. As I listen to Frank and Geralyn just now it’s no wonder why we’re doing so well here in New Glasgow on the business front. We have strong and dedicated staff.
