1. Community Well Being - Local businesses build strong neighborhoods by sustaining communities, linking neighbors, and by contributing more to local causes.
2. Local Decision Making - Local management means that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.
3. Keeping Dollars in the Local Economy - When shopping locally, you create jobs, fund more city services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvements and promote community development.
4. Job and Wages - Local businesses create more jobs locally and, in some sectors, provide better wages and benefits.
5. Environmental Sustainability - Local stores help to sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town centers, which in turn are essential to reducing sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution.
