Local business owners face worker shortage
DECATUR, Ala. (WAFF) - Some business owners in Morgan County are facing challenges with hiring workers for multiple positions.
Looking for workers have become the new normal for some businesses in the county.

Milford's newest business showcases local product in a tiny space
Tucked off Main Street behind the Beyond Juicery + Eatery is a small sign in a window which advertises the village's newest business downtown: Main Street Gift Co., a new, mostly-online venture started by Beyond's franchise owner Matthew Long.
The business's location serves more as a showroom than a shop designed for browsing: it occupies a few dozen square feet in what was formerly a storage closet associated with the property at 405 Main St. After Long realized he did not need it for storage for Beyond, he began brainstorming what to do with it.
