Happy New Year!

We here at HM decided that this would be a great issue to give the magazine a little facelift, so we've got a new mast, a new layout design, and a ton of stories talking about the growth of business and industry in Washington County. In the process, we took a look at The Downtown Movement's pop-up shop projects; the local agriculture industry's growing dairy production; the forthcoming partnership between the county and America First, Inc. to turn landfill waste into energy; and spoke to experts about the climate for lending to small and medium sized businesses that plan to open or expand in the area. We also took this opportunity to announce our first creative writing contest (check out the online exclusives section for more info shortly). As always, there's more in the magazine than here on the web, so sneak a peek, but don't forget to pick up a copy!
