Why Support Local Businesses?

- Compared to big box or chain stores, locally-owned businesses infuse a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy.
- Locally-owned businesses offer opportunities for better jobs, wages and benefits.
- Local ownership ensures that important decisions are made by people who live in the community and who will feel the impact of those decisions.
