Welcome to FoothillsBusinessDaily.com. We post stories a few times every weekday. So a few times a day, you'll find interesting stories about businesses and about government decisions that affect business. Our stories are short, to the point, interesting and helpful.
We aim to give businesses an outlet to tout their own successes while offering news and information small businesses need to make decisions or keep up with trends and issues in the area from Saratoga Springs to Bolton Landing.
The future of news is online, and Foothills Business Daily is structured as an “online-first” organization. Unlike most news outlets in the area, we offer an easy-to-use online platform that draws readers and drives sales for advertisers, especially smaller advertisers, local companies and start-ups.
To read more about Editor/Publisher Steve Thurston's views on the future of news and his hopes for FoothillsBusinessDaily.com, read the profile from the people at the Saratoga CoLab, a group that FoothillsBusinessDaily.com supports.
