Want to become part of the buy local movement?
Think Local. Buy Local. Be Local.
Because when you buy, shop, and eat local, you keep your money where your home is.
Based on Indie Impact Study Series from Civic Economics. These extra dollars circulating in the community are an investment in local job creation and preserving diverse and prosperous communities.
And it doesn’t stop there.
If a community the size of Tucson shifted just 10% of its spending from non-local to local businesses, the shift would create:
- 1,600 NEW JOBS
- $53 MILLION IN NEW WAGES
- $130 MILLION+ IN TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT
By sourcing more products and services locally, we are investing our dollars to create self-reliant local communities that offer opportunity and prosperity for all.
