The holiday season is upon us. Every one of us has the option of giving the gift the entire community can celebrate. The gift of prosperity.
Every holiday dollar spent at a locally owned and operated business not only supports a local job, it actually supports several local jobs by the time that dollar circulates through the community two or three times.
By contrast, that same dollar spent on-line does not support any local jobs. Straight out of the region and up the corporate food chain. Never to be seen again.
Buying local isn't only about dollars, it's also about impact.
The vast majority of our regions businesses are small businesses.
To these businesses, even incremental increases in consumer spending can have a big impact on their ability to support jobs, and our community.
