Next General Membership Meeting and Beer Panel Round 2: Join the Sanford Historic Trust as we host a group of local business people who will discuss the challenges and future of business in and near Historic Downtown Sanford. We'll hear from several newly opened businesses, one a brewery, one a cidery, as well as hear about a few upcoming new business as well. Why do businesses want to open in Sanford? What are some of the challenges they face? And what do they see for the future, both for their business and for Sanford? This event is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
