The economists lately have been using the subject term to explain what is going on with the economy. I would like to think we are seeing those shoots in Westfield also. Obviously the move of the Erie Life magazine to our Main Street was a sign, but in addition I have had 3 businesses this week that I have met with that would like to open businesses in Westfield two of which will be in our downtown district. Spring is always a time of promise and I am hoping that promise transcends into reality as far as these businesses are concerned. It is a little premature to give details but keep tuned to this blog .
