Week 6

Our search is basically complete- just in time for Spring Break. When we met yesterday, we essentially finalized our list. There is about 30 businesses. While there are a few we're looking a little more into, or keeping our eye on, for the most part we are done with the research phase of the project. From here on out, it's gathering detailed information, reporting, and writing our piece.
I'm happy with the list we came up with, and I'm glad we took our time in making sure it was correct. We discussed briefly the final layout that we would aim for which involved possibly breaking the list into categories such as "veterans to the list," "beach jobs," "fast growing," etc. Those were just thoughts, but I guess we'll get to that later.
It actually worked out perfectly because now we can begin the next phase of the project right after spring break and spend the whole second half of the semester working on that. I don't think it will be as difficult as the first phase because through our research, we already have a lot of the information that we need. Getting quotes and writing the piece will be the focus of the next couple of weeks. With three people working on it, it shouldn't be too strenuous.
