Hastings itself actually provides a lot more jobs than what our labor force shows.

Businesses in Hastings have to be competitive with the rest of the U.S. We need to provide opportunities for those business to locate and expand and be able to make that profit so they can provide the payroll that will turn over in the community in terms of retail sales.

That raise will be great and is very important to help everyone.

That is going to bring a lot of traffic to a particular area and so therefore business is going to have an interest in that traffic pattern.

All of the jobs are very, very important to the community.

Nobody is going to build, or nobody is going to invest in our community if we are not willing to invest in ourselves.

It is a good workforce in Hastings.
