“After the devastating flood in May of 2025, I was faced with the challenge of not only rebuilding my building but restoring a place that means so much to the community. The no interest loan from the Tri County Council came at a time when I needed it most. The support I received played a vital role in helping my business to rebuild and move forward. These funds allowed for me to restore the facility, invest in improvements, and preserve a trusted space for families during a difficult time.

More than just recovery, this no interest loan helped position my business for growth and long‐term sustainability within the community. As a family‐owned business for 125 years, it allowed me to restore what matters most to me‐ ensuring that my families business remain strong, stable and rooted in the community that I am honored to serve.”
