Brainstorming session to revive Tryon

Published 3:07pm Friday, July 6, 2012

Tryon’s downtown businesses are facing a much bigger challenge with several local businesses closing their doors or moving to other locations. Rather than saying it’s not my problem, my building, let the government or someone else take care of it; local business owners and community members are coming together to discuss options to find a solution. Monday at 5 p.m. at the Tryon Depot business owners will host a brainstorming session to address the problem. All concerned, are invited to attend the meeting and help come up with a solution.
Andy Millard of Millard and Company will facilitate the meeting with the intent to generate positive ideas that work. If you have had any dealings with Andy you already know that he is a man of action, like so many here, a man who cares, gets involved and who gets things done.
I’m confident a solution will be found, action put into place and Tryon will once again thrive. It’s good to live in the foothills, where the norm is to help your neighbor, take action, find a solution and act upon it.
