Our BNI Chapter Realtor, Jaime Polter with Polter Real Estate was awarded a grant. She has put in so much time and effort into her buildings downtown Port Clinton. Glad to see she got some rewarded for some of this work, very derserving! 😁🏠

More great news for downtown Port Clinton! 🎉
The Main Street Port Clinton Economic Restructuring Committee awarded a Downtown Improvement Grant today to Polter Real Estate. Grant funds were used to repair windows and address brickwork to prevent water intrusion, important improvements that help protect and preserve our downtown buildings.

These grant dollars come from funds raised at the Walleye Festival, turning community support into meaningful reinvestment in downtown Port Clinton. 💙

✨ Happy New Year! ✨
As we welcome 2026, now is a great time to reflect on what worked in your business throughout 2025—and what you’d like to improve. It’s also the perfect time to revisit your 2025 expenses as we head into tax season. From one tax preparer to all the business owners, a little organization now can make a big difference later. Here’s to a successful and well-prepared year ahead!
