I want to take an opportunity to welcome Germanna Community College as an advertiser on Potomac Local News.

During a visit to my barber this week, I learned that many small business owners and their employees are still hurting financially. Many in shops across our region are longing to see their customers’ faces.

Box-box stores and drive-through restaurants appear to be fine. Now — when they’re struggling the most — we must provide small business owners the tools necessary to help them and their employees win back customers and rebuild their businesses.
