Hopp and his workers will be busier than ever now, thanks to help from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

Business Journal: Are Chain Businesses A Threat To Downtown Placerville?
Two businesses are at the center of a debate in Placerville over whether chain businesses threaten the downtown area’s charm and independent shops.
