Havre de Grace Business Talks 'Furlough Friendly' Strategy

Some Havre de Grace businesses are offering 20 percent off to APG employees on furlough.

Havre de Grace businesses are giving a little extra in hopes that government employees will consider the city's downtown business district.

As first reported by Patch earlier this week, Havre de Grace is creating a "Furlough Friendly" business district to encourage Aberdeen Proving Ground employees on furlough to shop in the quaint stores and restaurants in the city.

ABC2 News caught up with Wanda Hall of Les Petits Bisous to talk about how the year-old business is happy to give back. (Read more about the business here).

Check out the video on ABC2news.com.

A list of participating businesses is to be posted on hdgtourism.com.
