Honor Schauland recently received a Bush Fellowship. Honor will be doing research and trying to implement small- scale sustainable economic development initiatives in the Finland and Isabella area. She will begin by gathering feedback from all the local business owners and learning what would help people start businesses, and what types of new businesses would really benefit the community. A lot of this work will happen out of the new community center. Honor has big plans for the future of the area. Congratulations Honor.
