Think:
- Your local businesses give back more to the community.
- More of your dollars stay in the community.
- More jobs stay in the community.
Shop:
- You can find anything you need locally.
- You develop relationships locally.
- You can find affordable prices in our community.
Buy:
- For every $1 spent at local businesses, 45¢ is reinvested locally. Non-local purchases keep, at most, 15¢ in your local community.
- Local businesses value, respect and appreciate your patronage.
- More tax dollars go to schools and roads in your community.
Local:
Join the movement! Take the pledge to show your support: "I pledge to THINK first of my local economy, SHOP first at my local businesses, and BUY first from local companies who give back so much, in so many ways, to my community."
