A little Northern Michigan snow doesn't slow down our business community. ❄️

We had an overwhelming turnout for our recent Business After Hours, hosted by the team at the Fairfield Inn. The energy in the room was a testament to the strength and resilience of the Otsego County economy.

Huge thanks to the Fairfield Inn & Ga***rd Area Chamber of Commerce for being such incredible hosts. These connections are the foundation of our local growth.

Collaboration is our greatest economic engine. 🤝

Thank you to the Ga***rd Area Chamber of Commerce and for allowing Tim to represent Ga***rd and Otsego County in Lansing last week with the Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance. From childcare and housing to rural infrastructure, our team is making sure our voice is heard at the Capitol.

When we move together as a region, we win as a community. Great work to everyone involved in these 30+ legislative meetings!
