More and more communities are trying to encourage shoppers of services and products to buy local in order to keep dollars spent turning over in the local economy and to preserve jobs and business's especially in difficult economic times.
Some communities have even been sponsored by local governments efforts to reward those that do spend in their home towns.
Recently I was asked by a waitress in one of our restaurant's if I worked downtown and when I replied yes I received a discount on my lunch.
Do we as a downtown have a market and a desire as owners and operators to pursue a similar effort in some form?
