An economist delivered some much expected bad news yesterday when he told a crowd of business owners that the recession was over but the recovery would be a very slow process for Ocala. The news was not unexpected but still a bitter pill to swallow for many Ocala business leaders who we're hopeful the message would have been just a bit more positive on the outlook for their local businesses.

Local business leaders are concerned with a double dip recession but analysts seem to feel the worse is over and that things are only going to get better albeit at a much slower pace than we had all hoped for. Manufacturing and construction are two key areas where Ocala can gain traction with a number of still planned projects in the works to revitalize the local economy. The credit crunch and bleak job market has stifled development and caused a difficult situation in Marion County but prospects are good for that to change in the months and years to come.
