Watch our websites for more info in the days and weeks to come.
“How to avoid Rt 47 was the buzz for the last two years. This mind set was horrible for all the business on Rt 47,” said Goodfella’s Beef owner Marsha Kapchinski. “We are hoping the “Rt 47 Crawl” will bring back some our lost customers and maybe some new customers who didn’t know we were behind the construction cones. Contrary to public belief, we do not get any funds from the city or the state. With this crawl, all the business are hoping to start getting back the business we have lost. There are many family owned businesses and employees and their families that rely on every ones support. Rt 47 and the economy is a double wammy. We hope The Crawl will jump start business and continue to head in the right direction.”
