It was encouraging to see people in support of HEDA’s efforts this past Sunday during the pancake benefit hosted by the Lions. Unofficially, $1600 was raised by community donation and Farmers State Bank and Hoffman Insurance Agency chipped in another $1000. Both businesses – and residents of Hoffman – should be praised for their financial support for the Economic Development Authority. It was noted that Kevin Hammer even paid for the entertainment provided during the feed.
HEDA Coordinator Muriel Krusemark mentioned that some people even stopped by just to donate money even if they couldn’t stay to enjoy the cakes.
Strides are being taken to bolster Hoffman’s business district. Sure, positive signs include the $85,000 grant to establish a Health Care Mall and new businesses such as Warrior’s Way Martial Arts and All About Dogs + Cats 2.
