Because of the rain I was not able to take pictures of the
target area for the grant today as planned.
But, there is never a shortage of things to get done with three grants
coming due. On Friday, the letters from
business owners about their interest in receiving funds are due. We are currently working on a plan of action
to reach out to all owners to make sure they do not have any questions
pertaining to the grants. However, what might be more interesting for a blog
post is our new ice cream shop Scoops! Scoops opened this Saturday in the
harbor across from my project advisor’s business. They serve hard served ice cream from a
company not far from us called Marcie’s, in Meadville PA. I am pleased that an ice store has opened,
as it is something I felt the harbor had been missing for a long time. I had even thought about opening a shop
myself. In addition to the benefits of
having tasty ice cream close, a new business means jobs. In particular, jobs for young people like
me. Because I have been in the harbor so
much lately for my project, I happened to meet the owner of Scoops. Thanks to my networking, she hired me for the
summer. Scoops is just one new business
that is suppose to open this season in the harbor. We are also looking forward to two new
restaurants as well. If you ask me, the
LBCA is doing a lot of things right. I
have never see the harbor as booming as it has been recently.
