Phase I of Hurricane Helene repair along the Blue Ridge Parkway continues in Watauga County, but we are getting closer to completion of a key stretch of roadway between Parkway Elementary School and Bamboo Gap. 

On this week's Mind Your Business, we visit with Leesa Brandon, External Affairs Specialist with the Blue Ridge Parkway and National Park Service. She will provide an update on the phases of work that encompasses Helene repairs throughout our region. We'll also hear an update on ongoing Great American Outdoors Act work along the Parkway in Ashe County and where crews will go next when these projects are complete in the High Country.

For up to the minute information about access, road closures, along with other information about visiting the Blue Ridge Parkway, visit their website here.

Earlier this week, the Chamber released its Q2 Economic Indicators report. We discuss a few of the key topics and discuss some of the efforts and events that are impacting our economy this summer.

Mind Your Business is written and produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. This podcast is made possible thanks to the sponsorship support of Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.
