Village Vote: Candidates Talk About Downtown and the Economy

This week, we asked the village council candidates questions about Downtown Blissfield, the DDA, Michigan Main Street and the local retail and services economy. Presidential candidates Jae Guetschow and Mike Gunter, and Trustee candidates A. Ray Jones, Mark Burgermeister, Art Weeber and Andrea Cueto all took time from their schedules to answer these questions.

Over the past few years, despite the terrible economy, the local economy has seen its fair share of success stories. The opening of the new TLC Community Credit Union on the west side was a boon for town. On the east side, Dollar General opened a discount store.
