Who is our target market?

Local people are hung up on the fact that Wardsville doesn’t have a grocery store or gas station. Therefore, Wardsville is locked into its present status of “bedroom community”. I beg to differ. As our list of assets shows, Wardsville has lots of features. Don’t tell Glencoe, but I think [...]
