Atkinson native and part-time resident, Gerard Keating, announced that he will invest $1,000,000 over the next 12 months to buy and restore vacant commercial buildings in Atkinson and to recruit new technology and experience-based business to occupy.
Keating said the decision was made after spending a year in Atkinson, which he had not done since 1981-82, and witnessing the devastation that government policies and reaction to COVID has wreaked on small businesses in Atkinson and other rural communities.
