BODY:
Overall: Locally owned businesses are crucial to keeping small towns thriving. +”Your dollars spent in locally-owned businesses have three times the impact on your community as dollars spent at national chains.” +The more people shop locally, the more everyone in the community will benefit. http://www.staylocal.org/facts/why http://sustainableconnections.org/thinklocal/why
