So many small businesses that operate on a shoestring may not be back. I suspect there will be a fair share of empty storefronts in the near future - especially if the summer season is 'cancelled'. I'm for doing what's necessary to save lives and ensure the virus doesn't return and inflict even greater damage to the economy. Yet, this article does make you think. In the short term anyway, it seems we may be in deep doo doo no matter what direction we take.
I believe that in the long haul, we stand to lose many small businesses but with the natural resources we have in the Lakes Region, small business (especially small business) will always have a chance to thrive here. Not so however for many other rural areas that don't have the draws that we do.
