Help a local

business

Since the "green phase" of Gov. Tom Wolf's reopening plan has begun, many local businesses will be reopening their doors and expanding services. Be sure to shop locally and eat-in (where able) or take-out from your favorite restaurants. Lock Haven and the surrounding areas have wonderful small businesses that rely on the community's support to keep going. During these tough times they need you now more than ever. So be sure to shop local as often as you can!
