Holly Rissman of Rochester opened a drug and alcohol testing business D & A Testing in mid-January.
The business, which is at 1208 Seventh Street N.W. in the Northgate Shopping Center, does office or on-site testing of employees for businesses. She has worked in the testing industry for eight years.
"I hoping what I do will meet a need on local level," Rissman said. "It is a little niche."
She also offers testing for truck and bus drivers to meet the Department of Transportation¹s required compliance rules.
Along with the workplace testing, she also offers paternity testing to determine the parentage of a child.

"It (paternity testing) is another little line of service to meet a need," Rissman said. "I think I can offer a more reasonable rate rather than going through a clinic."
