YEAR IN REVIEW: Well, 2020 is not one that any of us will EVER forget. It has been a difficult year for everyone, to say the least. We want to take a brief moment to recap some of the GOOD things that have happened on the #UWSPHX in 2020!
First and foremost, THANK YOU for your support! We pivoted this year to support small businesses more than ever and the community embraced this change. The majority of small business owners we have spoken to have said they are doing as well as can be expected during a global pandemic, and that the community has really stepped up to support them. The beginning of 2021 will continue to be challenging so PLEASE continue supporting local businesses! Their success is essential to positive long-term economic development in our community.
In 2021 we will continue to support local small businesses, in addition to pushing harder to advocate for our community. We truly believe the West Valley will come out of this stronger than we went into it and it will be our time to shine!
