Good News From Williamston, MI

These two pictures were taken by Lloyd Rodriguez in January 2008. One is the water tower and other is one of the railroad outbuildings next to the tower. It was obviously a typical Michigan winter day.


In these times of economic hardship, today encouraging news came out of Williamston, MI, my hometown. Six new businesses officially opened their doors today, with plans for several more over the next few months.

Several of the business owners acknowledged times were tough, but they believed that the time was right to venture out as a business owner.

There are still a couple of storefronts that are boarded, but the Mayor assured everyone those buildings will house businesses by this time next year.

I sure hope so. Williamston is a great community and I am glad to see we are attracting new business. A business based a few towns away from us acknowledge the other day, that if everything works out they will move their entire business to our industrial park outside of town. What a wonderful thing to see another new business.

How is your town doing? Anything positive happening in these difficult times?
