Good News From City Government

At the City Manager's Blog we have a post titled "We’re Here to Help Your Business Stand Out – Best Retail Practices Program".  Here is our City Government trying to help Small Businesses do better by providing information and techniques, but not by dictating to them.

Yes, there is tax money involved, and some grants..  Grants are our taxes packaged and handed to local Governments, or in some cases, private funds made available.  The economic response to "free" money is to make sure it comes to Lowell and not Lawrence.  There is no way it is going back to the taxpayers, so there is competition for the best way to use it and helping local Lowell retailers is the best way to dispose of that money.

Good going DPD and City Mananger.
