Norwalk officials say the small business community has been steadily growing since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

They say 2024 shows the greatest amount of growth yet.

Jose Lucero, owner of Don Carmelo's Mexican Grill, opened his business three years ago.

Despite a slow start, he says he is now busy seven days a week.

Experts say the post-pandemic economy has been driving job growth locally and nationwide.

A record number of start ups are contributing to the trend.

Lucero says his second restaurant, El Toro is also thriving in Milford.
