Keep It Local

Downtown businesses financially reinvest twice as much back into the local economy as do chains. Locally owned businesses Compared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community.

Support Our Community

Downtown contributes to a strong community by linking neighbors in a web of economic, cultural, and social relationships. In an increasingly homogenized world, communities that preserve and support their downtown’s distinctive character have a long-term economic advantage.
