When we met more than five years ago, it became obvious that we were on the same page as far as our philosophies for covering news, feature and business stories important to readers.
We expect nothing but the best from ourselves when it comes to reporting and editing solid, accurate and thorough articles covering both sides of any given issue. In fact, doing so is something the community has come to expect.

The bottom line is we love what we do and the communities in which we live. That’s why it was our choice - after severing ties with local print publications - to team up and launch www.thehollyexpress.com, an online news source aimed at providing Holly area residents with the most accurate news coverage at no cost.

Since we began our venture in June, we’ve enjoyed an overwhelming response. While it’s our main goal to provide you with the best in local news, we also want to provide you with the chance to interact with other readers and are pleased to offer blogging capabilities as well.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to making many exciting improvements to our site and offer additional options for readers in the near future.
