SPRINGFIELD
RECOGNIZES IMPACT OF SMALL BUSINESS |
|
According the U.S. Census Bureau, as many as 80 percent of all new
jobs are created by small businesses. This is a fact worth noting
for the Springfield area, where 98 percent of the establishments are
considered small businesses. The small business community plays a
large part in keeping our regional economy moving.
During a luncheon today, the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce
named its 2003 W. Curtis Strube Small Business of the Year. PFI
Western Store earned top billing among the five finalists. Other
contenders were Associated Video Producers, The Casey Associates,
Custom Manufacturing & Polishing and The Law Firm of Neale & Newman. |

community. |
