As the new year begins, one area chamber leader talks about the importance of educating businesses on the new way of operating in the future.

Greg Williams, President/CEO of the Ozark Chamber of Commerce, during an interview this week on KRZK’s “Ozarks Now” program points out that businesses are having to relook many parts of their operations, including hiring and retaining employees as the work force chances post COVID-19.

Williams said businesses around Ozark in 2021 were in rebound mode and most did so successfully and also pointed to the work Johnny Morris and Bass Pro Shops has put into Finley Farms and The Ozark Mill and its impact into moving Ozark forward.

The complete interview with Greg Williams can be heard below:
