New shop offers professional attire to men in need

• The store provides professional attire for those in need to use in job interviews and work meetings.
• Beatty, a former state representative, died last year at the age of 81.
• Much of his wardrobe was donated to the shop.

Details: The shop is located at IMPACT Community Action and will provide other employment services to residents.

• It's being operated in partnership with other nonprofits, according to a news release, including the Nehemiah House of Refuge and Dress for Success — the latter of which provides professional clothing for local women.
• Franklin County also chipped in federal pandemic recovery funds.

What they're saying: "Otto wholeheartedly believed that dressing in professional attire can change how a person feels about themselves and how they are perceived by others," Congresswoman Beatty said in the news release.
