Sustainable Business Resources
BUY LOCAL! Support for local businesses sustains local economies, as the money you spend circulates back into the local tax base, school system, community infrastructure, etc. Recent studies show that nearly half every dollar spent in a locally-owned business stays in your community, compared to about $0.15 out of your dollar spent in a national chain or franchise store.
