s Grant to promote local shopping Shopping locally and keeping your money working within your community has become easier thanks to an Economic Development Grant from Lincoln City’s Urban Renewal Agency. Urban Renewal will offer business memberships, normally $25 or $50 per year, free to any business located within its district. “Buy Local Lincoln County is a powerful tool for businesses and individual members,” Executive Director Guy Faust said. Buy Local is a county nonprofit that has promoted shopping locally for more than five years. Because its first meetings were held at the Newport Chamber of Commerce, it was considered by many to be Newport-based, rather than a countywide organization. “This past year, Buy Local partnered with organizations in Yachats, Lincoln City, Toledo and Nye Beach, among others, to help boost local shopping in the eyes of Lincoln County residents and
visitors,” Faust said. “We’re committed to serving every community in Lincoln County, not any one city.” The new program follows last year’s membership change, which made individual and family memberships, previously $25, free. Now, any Lincoln County family or individual can join the organization for free for one full year. A volunteer organization, Buy Local hopes to enroll 1,000 consumers with the promotion. Faust said member businesses often post incentives or discounts that are available only to Buy Local members. They are posted on the Buy Local website (www. buylocallincolncounty.org) and anywhere businesses choose to promote them. Faust said businesses in the Urban Renewal District can schedule a meeting with Buy Local’s recruitment specialist, Charles Helbig, by calling 541-994-4166. “Or, you can simply wait for Charles to come knocking on your door,” Faust said. “He hopes to visit most of the businesses in the city’s Urban Renewal District in the next few weeks.”
