Don't miss this week's Lightning.
We've got the scoop on the three candidates vying to be appointed to the Board of County Commissioners seat made vacant by the death of Charlie Messer, coverage of proposals for a five-story hotel behind the Historic Courthouse, a 10-unit condo development downtown and 300 apartments on Lakewood Road at the post office annex.
You'll also read the Shining Light column by editor Bill Moss on how the Lightning is surviving the pandemic and economic turndown, meet new Lightning reporters and read a feature on Cards for a Cause, a crafty nonprofit that helps nonprofits.
