Local Sales, Marketing of Farm Products Boosts Economy

February 11, 2021 by Frank Orlowski No Comments

Buying local is the premise championed by many Upper Valley residents, small businesses, and organizations. Keeping dollars close to home, knowing the people producing what one buys, and supporting those that live and work in the community are all benefits of buying local. When economic conditions are impacted as they have been over the past year by the epidemic, supporting local small enterprises is even more important for those business owners.

Resurrection Project

The Stars Line up for Kingswood II

What to do with an aging asset? Use it until it’s no longer suitable for its intended purpose? Keep fixing it in an effort to squeeze out a few more years of use? Undertake a major overhaul or renovation involving a significant investment of time, energy, and financial resources?

These are age-old questions that plague many among us sooner or later about our assets small or large. Many folks have at one time had to choose whether to repair, replace or run a motor vehicle into the ground, but it’s quite another matter when we are confronted with such realities regarding our residence.… Read More
