Port Madison Home owner John Hays produced a short YouTube video (see above) to discuss the closure of his Winslow Way furniture store.
In it, he urges islanders to support local businesses because they have a more of a stake than off-island chain stores in the health of the community.
“If our downtown is important to you, please consider what it takes to keep it,” Hays says in the video.
