About this app
Hometown Focus helps define community on the Iron Range and the surrounding areas. From its grassroots beginning in 2008, Hometown Focus has been “of the community, by the community and for the community.” Everything about Hometown Focus is local. It is locally owned. Its content comes from our local communities. Readers and viewers are encouraged to support local businesses who support Hometown Focus through their advertising. Hometown Focus was started as, and remains, a free publication with its print edition distributed from Cotton, Hoyt Lakes, Ely to Grand Rapids each week and its free website and E-edition available free to everyone far and wide.
