WHY SHOULD YOU SHOP AND DINE LOCAL?
IT SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY. The revenues from local shopping sales taxes help fund police and fire services, road maintenance and other programs and projects.
Meanwhile, continued support of local businesses allows the village to thrive while attracting similar businesses.
IT CREATES LOCAL JOBS. Local businesses need employees and those same employees tend to spend money in the community, which helps the local economy.
IT ATTRACTS NEW BUSINESSES. People tend to swarm to places they hear good things about. If people continue to enjoy dining and shopping, other shops will certainly take note and pursue opportunities of growth.
IT BACKS COMMUNITY GROUPS. Many local businesses continue to give back generously to those within the community.
IT SAVES YOU MONEY AND TIME. From saving the wear and tear on your vehicle and less time spent running from store to store, find what you need right here locally. Sales tax rates are often lower locally than in nearby communities.
