“The northeast region of Kansas is always well represented during Business Appreciation Month,” Peterson said. “The continuing growth here makes it appropriate to recognize business leaders who help to keep the economy healthy.” The Chamber of Commerce congratulates the nominated businesses and thanks to all of our area businesses for their hard work, time and dedicated effort. Local businesses add life to our community; create jobs, drive economic growth and provide the goods and services that we often take for granted. Thank you area businesses for making the Manhattan area a great place to live and do business.
