City of Rockford issued the following announcement on Oct. 9.
BUSINESS IS BOOMING: Over the last six months, the Midtown District has welcomed eight new businesses.
Ronn Mooney, Executive Director of the Midtown Business District, attributes the growth to competitive rental pricing and positive momentum in the area. “It’s exciting to see so many new businesses want to be in our area,” Mooney explains. “The City of Rockford has really been an important partner. From the area’s alderman to the Community and Economic Development Department, the City has been supportive in any way possible.”
