Business workshop focuses on Blaine’s economy

The Blaine Chamber of Commerce hosted its third business workshop on January 25 at the Pizza Factory, located at 738 Peace Portal Drive. The evening featured a presentation from city staff about economic development efforts. An open discussion followed, with folks from around the community, including Jim Zell, c., bringing several issues to the table, including the I-274 offramp, the prospect of a railway stop in Blaine and ideas for boosting the local downtown business scene.
