Winner announced for ‘Give Small Business a Lift' campaign
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) — WRTA is celebrating its fourth annual 'Give Small Business a Lift' campaign
This year, twelve local small businesses were highlighted with their stories featured on buses and signs at Federal Station.
This year's winner is J.E. Washington Funeral Services. They'll receive extra advertising, including a social media push and a TV campaign donated by WKBN.
WRTA Executive Director Dean Harris says the campaign keeps growing, with hundreds of nominations coming in.
'We've kind of grown the event itself to really showcase a little better because we got a good feel for how to do it and it's just a very positive thing. And then our past winners are so thankful because they have been recognized,' Harris said.
More than 200 Valley businesses have participated in the first three years of this event.
