Hello!
March is marching right along. Spring is just days away and there’s so much to do to prepare for customers to come back out of hibernation.
If you are itching to get outside to do business beyond your four walls, there are several opportunities offered in this newsletter. And grants. And workshops you can attend without leaving your business!
May the luck of the Irish stay with you all year and bless you and/or your business with a pot of gold.
Cheers,
Allison Harnden and Bret Kunash,
Office of Nighttime Economy
