With the news of Keystone hiring last week, and Wednesday's news about Dutchmen hiring, workers at the Goshen Chamber of Commerce say things are starting to look up.
The Chamber President David Daugherty says they hold monthly meetings with local business owners to talk about the economy, and most agree things are slowing starting to look optimistic.
While Dutchmen's announcement of 50 new jobs is not a huge number, the President says it's hopefully a sign things are changing.
Daugherty says, "the nice thing is it's getting good people back to work, that's the important thing from a chamber standpoint. You have to feel good about that."
He doesn't expect things to get better overnight, but he says most business owners feel they've hit the lowest and our now bouncing back.
