Project Plans from the C This project is based on the survey results that stated businesses wanted ways to network with each other. The project team recommended having a business breakfast workshop with a speaker and a time to socialize. The business and breakfast can be thought of in many forms, for example, brunch, lunch and dinner socials. One of the main ideas was having an annual "State of the City" speech from the Mayor of Hugo and also bringing in County and State officials in to speak to the business owners. This would give an opportunity for the businesses to interact with their local, County and State officials. The project team will be brainstorming over the next few months on how to accomplish their goals to provide a new way for businesses to network and exchange information with their officials. Priority Project #4: Address Highway 61 Access Issues and Improve Downtown Hugo Just as loving a community does not ensure profitability for a business; profitability does not ensure a business will remain loyal to a community. Businesses may also consider a host of factors when deciding to remain in a community or to move to another. Businesses need quick, easy access to their businesses for both their customers and their suppliers. They may also prefer to be located in a community with an attractive, thriving downtown.
