LEWISTOWN — The “family” at Kish Creek Center keeps growing as businesses continue to move in and the construction of a new building begins.
Since 1981, owner Tim Havice has been expanding and improving his property to attract a “good mixture of different businesses.”
“It really is like a big family here. It’s nice ... we have good neighbors, too,” Havice said.
Havice said the Kish Creek Center also is a good place for a business because of its proximity to the downtown area.
“It’s very convenient, people can get in and out quickly,” he said.
The center is well lit at night for security, and it is kept clean throughout the year, Havice said.
“It really is a matter of pride. I live in the area, and it’s important to me that this place is kept nice,” he said.
