Mayor’s Corner: Businesses are good for Kearny
Mayor, Town of Kearny
Norm’s Hometown IGA is a big plus for Kearny and the whole Copper Basin. It follows upon the revitalized NAPA store and the increased presence of the Family Dollar.
These businesses are good for us because they create wealth for the community. They take the talents and abilities of Kearny people and compensate them with money which benefits the community.
It is wonderful to see the good things which are happening at the IGA. There is new employee recognition; there is a greater variety of produce; there is a real desire to provide the kinds of products the community desires. The delicatessen has had a surge in popularity since Norm has encouraged the people who run it to provide from their own skills what the customers want.
On another subject, the parts have begun arriving for the rebuilding of the filtration plant (remember our brown water?). The work on the plant begins this week. After the work is finished, there may be more brown water as the lines clear and the filtration starts to kick in, removing the manganese and iron solids. Remember, our water will still be highly mineralized, so keep on making use of reverse osmosis filters or bottled water.
