Westminster open for business

Like many towns nationwide, Westminster has its share of empty storefronts.  But the city is attempting to lure new business by capitalizing on its location convenient to the many recreation opportunities offered by the Wild and Scenic Chattooga River.  City Administrator Jeff Lord yesterday attended a Greenville event where he tried to interest recreation business-types to consider Westminster.  “The recruiting event went well,” said Lord.  “Generated some interest and a few leads.”
