Sublette Business Assoc. meets

SUBLETTE – Members of the Sublette Business Association gathered recently for its quarterly meeting. The meeting was hosted by Main Street Repair in its showroom.

The group discussed moving the digital sign to a new location at the corner of U.S. Route 52 and Inlet Road. This will be completed before the end of the year.

President David Howell reviewed the new businesses that have opened in Sublette recently. He noted this has been a very good year for the village. Howell will be moving from the area soon, so Steve Klein will serve as the president of the association until the next election.

Following the meeting, Anthony Morgan, co-owner of Main Street Repair, discussed the operations of the business and thanked the community for the support they have received. He also gave tours of their facility.

The next meeting will be the annual meeting and election of officers in January 2018.
