Buy Local

Money spent at a locally owned business stays in the local economy & strengthens the economic base of the community. A 2003 study showed local merchants generate substantially greater economic impact than chain retailers. The study found for every $100 in consumer spending at a national bookstore, the local economic impact was $13. The same amount spent at locally-based bookstores yielded $45; more than 3x the local economic impact.
