FOCUS: Main Street Grayson launches BOOST for local businesses
By Gail Lane | We know that what most business owners need more than anything is a little bit of support.

We want to give our small business owners a little bump … a positive nudge … a BOOST that will help them rise to the next level of success and distinguish themselves from their competition.
Gwinnett Forum | April 30, 2024
“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”
– Former Prime Minister Sir William Churchill (1874-1965).
Continuing objectives
Gwinnett Forum publisher Elliott Brack suggests that Gwinnett County needs a long-range list of continuing objectives for improving the county. His list:
