This year, our Uptown businesses are facing unprecedented challenges due to ongoing road construction along Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street.
As the outreach coordinator for the Hill & Lake Press, I connect with local businesses each month — delivering papers, discussing ads, and hearing their stories.
Many owners share the daily struggles they face, from the impact of road closures and extended construction projects to the lingering effects of social unrest, the pandemic and rising crime, and the ongoing shift from physical storefronts to online shopping. It’s a perfect storm, with many businesses on the brink.
As a gesture of appreciation and support, the Hill & Lake Press offered free advertising to our local businesses in our December issue.
We need your help to support local businesses.
Your gift this year will not only help us cover our expenses; it will send a message of appreciation to our friends in the business community who are struggling to get through this unprecedented time.
Please consider giving generously.
Thank you for being part of our community and supporting the Hill & Lake Press and our local businesses.
