What resources do we need to reduce poverty?
While I believe that the residents of Tyndall are very grateful for the opportunities that Horizons has provided our community, I think that “reducing poverty” and improving financial status for residents is going to be an uphill battle, given the national and regional views on the economy and in the political arena in general. Pessimism creeps in !!! I guess if we had a rash of business start-ups that would be able to employ locals at a decent wage, that would be of great help. I am an optimist! Even one new business that could employ more than the owner would be a start. Tyndall has room for this growth. The larger businesses that we have are working hard to keep their employees but we know from our census statistics that around 35% of Tyndallites go out of town for a job each day. So, I would have to say that one large new business would be a start and a huge asset for our community. What do you think, Tyndall? Leave a comment at this post.
