Hello everyone, 

Thank you all for your continued support. I just wanted to share some publicity we gained today regarding this issue. An interview with myself and local station, WTOV9 will be airing later today. Hopefully my ramblings will be somewhat coherent. Until that airs, this post from them is being shared on Facebook by them asking for everyone’s opinions regarding the matter if you feel compelled to weigh in.

While everyone’s opinion is important, if you are local and invested in the downtown in any way, your voice will be most noticed. The important thing in all of this is to spread awareness of the issue and have everyone’s voices be heard so the city can come to a decision in the public eye. 

If you would like to read more on the issue of dollar stores in general, I would recommend this study.

Thank you all, and let’s keep Steubenville moving in bold new directions,
