New equipment and clean facility is focus for Core Fit Gym in Howe
The Howe Area Chamber of Commerce has a young president named Robert Cannaday who is known as someone who has a tight grip on the purse strings of the non-profit organization.

Without Cannaday in the room, the purse strings found themselves dangling on the floor of the Victory Center at 101 E. Haning St.

One of the greatest assets of Howe is the available property on US Highway 75 to enhance the community profile. Investors also covet such property and if the price is right, they'll purchase it and do what they want with it. The issue with this property is getting water to the location. The owners will have to tap from Hall Cemetery Road for City of Howe water. HoweEnterprise.com Readership Jan. 1 - July 13, 2019
