Welcome to the Business Plus Newsletter!

New Spotlight on Investors!

We are excited to unveil an addition to our newsletter, aiming to showcase and celebrate achievements of our Business Plus investors. Starting today we will be featuring spotlights on remarkable leaders and their positive impacts on our region and economy.


Our first spotlight is on Con Paulos Chevrolet and Con and Lisa's 100 Hundred Acts of Kindness.

The spotlight articles will cover a range of topics including:


  • Community Support and Service: Highlighting businesses that have shown exceptional dedication to community involvement, philanthropy, or initiatives that make a real difference in people's lives.


  • Innovation and Business Expansion: Showcasing companies that have demonstrated a remarkable ability to innovate, adapt, and expand, driving economic growth and contributing to our community.



  • Milestones and Success Stories: Recognizing longstanding businesses that have reached significant milestones or achieved notable success, celebrating perseverance, longevity, and contributions to the local business landscape.

 

We believe that sharing these inspiring stories will not only showcase the diverse talent and expertise within our community, but also serve as a source of networking, collaboration and potential partnerships among our investors and community leaders.


When your business is spotlight ready, please reach out!
