So Long
Dear reader, I have resigned my position with the Franklin County Empire Zone to pursue my interests in knowledge management and web design. I will be joining the ranks of small business owners as of July 1, 2006. I still think that Franklin County, NY is a great place to own a business so I am setting up shop right here in Malone, NY at ecodevpro.com. Please drop by for a visit. You can continue to visit franklinez.com for Empire Zone information.
