This week the annual Echo Progress Edition is released with more to come next week! Some news items were overlooked due to an unforeseen computer problem mid-week which caused the glitch. Nonetheless, there’s plenty of reading in this week’s issue along with lots of photos!

The Echo staff takes pride in reporting the news of the area and does so in a professional manner. We live here and raise our families here. Like the folks profiled in this week’s Echo, we’re invested here and recognize the importance of jobs and future.

The Echo is more than a business to us - it’s each of our readers - it’s the people who live here - the people who make the city work in a positive way. Let’s celebrate who we are. Celebrate our positive accomplishments. The good people we are, who care about our neighbors, who accept our differences, and work to make this a better place.
