Anna and I spent the afternoon at Bluffs Mountain Outfitters, Gentry Hardware, and Vinyl Pie Pizza — recipients of the Western North Carolina Small Business Grant Initiative — as well as Big Pillow Brewing to check up on their progress rebuilding after Helene. I can vouch for the pizza and beer.

Small businesses are the beating heart of our economy. I stopped by some small businesses in Marshall – including Shady Side Florist, a recipient of a Western North Carolina Small Business Initiative grant – to see how they are recovering and rebuilding following Hurricane Helene.
