Readers Write: Support of local stories important to village’s future

The Island Now

Congratulations to all of us in the Plaza for enduring all encroachments on our personally guaranteed constitutional rights for the sake and respect for our neighbors.

Hopefully, the light at the end of this tunnel is not an oncoming train and we can envision the day, in the foreseeable future, when we can return to a normal state of living.

Some of our utility providers have recognized the financial reality of the situation and have instituted policies to ameliorate payment pressure. But our small businesses in the Plaza need additional help to get back on track.

If the monies from federal programs that were extended to the small businesses in the Plaza were used to pay workers’ salaries, that money would be considered a grant and no repayment would be due.

We should be aware that the life of our commercial business center in our village depends on our frequenting these stores and shopping locally.

The stores add to the allure of our village and provide us with products and services that come with personalized service unavailable online. I hope that we can all look forward to shopping in a revived business district in the near future.

Lastly, our wish to all of our friends and neighbors is that they continue to be patient just a while longer and stay safe.
