Your Weekly Business Resource to keep you on Track

Welcome to the Waunakee Area Chamber of Commerce Business Tracks Newsletter! Here's what's going on... Dear Ellen,

Supporting Our Business Community

Construction comes with obstacles, detours, andinconveniences. The reconstruction on the County Highway Qcorridor (Heron Trail to Meffert Road south and outside of theVillage) presents challenges for several businesses in ourcommunity. Residents can do their part to help support these businessesby shopping local. Don't let the inconvenience of a slightlylonger drive keep you from frequenting the many businessesthat give so much back to our Village.
