Businesses are starting and homes are going up in town almost like never before, Mayor Tara Walter said at a State of the Town address Oct. 2 at the community center.
The town has issued 996 business licenses in the past year, Walter said.
“There are lots of people doing business in the town of Florence. Even though we may not see a traditional brick-and-mortar store, we have people doing business in our community.” Among the most notable, she continued, is the new Florence hospital.
