Forest Grove Live

As I was coming home from grocery shopping today I saw a few new signs around town…
FOR LEASE signs.
Last month it was Basco’s Burgers in Cornelius.  Thirty years in the business and then gone, just like that.
Today I saw Triple Point Biologics was empty.  They were the protein lab located between Dr Tidwell’s Dental Office [...]

Where do we go from here?
