1. IT KEEPS DOLLARS IN THE COMMUNITY.  When you shop local, your dollars stay local – dollars that maintain our parks, our playgrounds, and our infrastructure.

2. LOCAL BUSINESSES ARE LOCAL EMPLOYERS.  Supporting them helps keep our economic engine running.

3. LOCAL BUSINESSES DESERVE YOUR SUPPORT.  Local businesses buy ads in yearbooks, sponsor your kids’ teams, support spaghetti dinners, put posters in their windows and offer door prizes and items in support of dozens of charities and benefits each year. Help them help you!

4. YOU CAN FIND IT LOCALLY.  You really can find most of what you need in Cortland County!

5. IT HELPS BUILD TAX BASE.  The businesses you support pay their taxes here, in Cortland County!

6. HOMETOWN PRIDE!  The community you live in is good enough to shop and do business in!

7. IT'S AN INVESTMENT IN GROWTH.  The more vital our local business community becomes, the more attractive Cortland becomes for others. That leads to more local choices and even more local growth!

8. BETTER SERVICE.  Cortland’s merchants and service providers know their business and know their customers.

10. IT'S ABOUT COMMUNITY!  You’ll feel better knowing you’re doing your part to help make Cortland County all it can be.
