Studies show buying in your community has a positive effect. By spending your dollars local, you circulate revenue and make your community richer and healthier. Buying local benefits you, the local merchant and therefore the community you live in. Local Chamber of Commerces should rally everyone to shop close to home. This form of shopping will give everyone the opportunity to bolster our local economy. Here are some other reasons:
*The increased cost of shipping for online merchandise.
*Strengthens government services like police and fire with the business taxes and fees put back into the community for better services.
*Local shopping means local jobs for neighbors making a direct benefit economically.
*Save gas and be friendlier to the environment.
*Get better service and more enjoyment shopping with merchants you know.
*Support local merchants and support the nonprofit agencies and needy people depending on local businesses donations.
The Northeast neighborhoods has many products anyone would want on an everyday basis. Not everyone would purchase 100% within their neighborhood but it would be worth while to change our habits and consider shopping local before spending our money away from our neighborhood.
