Starting a business in Lewiston?

First post here. I work in automotive and It's a a smaller city city with about 34,471 people. Household incomes average around $71,047 in Lewiston. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. Worth the trade-offs?

Weather-wise, the summers are decent and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.

I've lived in Highland for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good internet infrastructure
- The community vibe scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Property taxes are high

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Worth doing your research before committing.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want pet-friendliness, then yeah this place is great. But if healthcare matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
