Way to go Shari! Keep going!!!

“……. recognizes local policies, projects and programs that support small business”

I am curious …. since Shari became mayor… which
1. policies
2. programs
3. support

came in effect which would support this award?

or did some or all of them come into effect under some previous regime(s)?

No matter, I would love to know which they are under whoever’s watch.

Good to see PG is number one in a positive category. Of course people will still focus on PG being number one in crime stats.
