It was a busy couple of weeks for people in Wapakoneta as the city celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. People came from all around the world to celebrate with Neil Armstrong’s hometown, and few know just how much that kind of foot traffic impacted Wapak’s economy better than the business community on Auglaize St.

As downtown Wapakoneta moves forward after the fire at the Koneta Hotel, business owners are feeling the effect it’s had on their community.
