Thank you to our “This Week in Huntsville” Newsletter Sponsors…
Hello Huntsville!
Welcome to another edition of ‘This Week in Huntsville’!
This past week, Huntsville experienced a rare snowfall that led to the closure of businesses and schools. As the snow melts away, temperatures are rising slightly, but rain is anticipated over the weekend. With just one more week until a new month, let's look back at some notable developments in our community.
Huntsville Fire Chief Greg Mathis has outlined plans for department growth, focusing on firefighter well-being and infrastructure expansion. These initiatives aim to enhance the safety and efficiency of our city's emergency services.
In educational news, Huntsville ISD is preparing for a student job fair designed to connect high school students with job opportunities, internships, and career pathways. This event will provide valuable experiences for our youth as they explore future careers.
For those interested in natural history, Sam Houston State University offers a chance to explore hidden treasures within its Natural History Collections. These collections provide insights into the region's rich biodiversity and are a must-see for enthusiasts.
Additionally, SHSU's online programs have been ranked among the nation's best, reflecting the university's commitment to providing quality education accessible to a broader audience.
On the business front, Deep Clean Texas is thriving in Huntsville, promoting community engagement and excellence in their services. Their dedication to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards has made them a valued part of our local economy.
We are also pleased to welcome two new businesses to the Hello Huntsville Ethical Business Directory:
The Cajun Barber, offering professional barber services in a family-friendly atmosphere.
Stainbusters Carpet Cleaning, a family-owned business with over 12 years of experience in top-quality carpet and floor cleaning services.
All this and much more in this edition of This Week in Huntsville!
