Why Local Matters:
68%
68% of every dollar spent with a small business returns to the local economy.
Shifting just a portion of your shopping, dining and entertainment to small, local businesses makes a HUGE impact. Your dollars can be a boom to our local economy when you keep it local and encourage others to do the same.

We’re bigger than New Orleans, Orlando and Anaheim, and we need to act like it. We need to be our own biggest advocates supporting our amazing local businesses and showing them off to all our family, friends, neighbors, and anyone that will listen.
