Area Business Clears Hurdle

A new, locally owned Pioneer business, Hometown Meat Market, moved closer to reality as county commissioners formally approved $64,000 dollars for the business from the county’s Revolving Loan Fund…part of a package of nearly $300,000 dollars that includes private lender money and private equity. The project is anticipated to employ three workers within 24 months after project completion, including two who meet the state’s Low and Moderate Income guidelines.
