Local needs are jobs.

Job that are not second jobs, at a restaurant just so people can get by.

The communities strength, is in the communities resources. It is far better to work for a secure employer.

They are only adding 12 Jobs for this Tiff the company that can pay the City gives them the break but not the company's who really need it

Small business owners are more important as a state's tax incentive investment, especially since COVID-19 is still impacting locally-owned businesses. Tax incentives can identify locally-owned business success, and that identified success can attract the global exports, putting Missouri on the map.

I prefer shopping at the mall for clothing so I can look at it and try it on before buying. I also enjoy browsing in a comfortable atmosphere.

Columbia Mall is the only true mall in town. The nearest mall is Jeff City's Capitol Mall is practically a ghost town.

The Columbia Missouri Mall is great because they have allot of variety shops for people to shop in. I do hope that for entertainment that they can add a movie theater. There are some malls across the country the same size as ours and they have a movie theater.

Best variety in COMO. Love Dillard's Big & Tall department.

Al Cox

It has a good variety of shops to choose from, the environment is very open & friendly. Having Target there helps too :)
