Buy Local Week

Buy Local Week

Buy Local Week is over, but the holiday shopping season isn't. Spending your money locally between now and the end of the year makes a huge impact on the economic health of our neighborhoods. Check out the video below to hear what Governor Hickenlooper has to say about buying local.

Gov Hickenlooper Talks Local

Why Local First?

Last year Coloradoans spent $12.7 billion during the holidays, which represents a huge chunk of $ for retailers. And since money spent at locally owned businesses recirculates at least three times more in our community, where you spend your money really does matter.

Every Bit Counts

A shift of just 10% of your purchases toward local retailers could translate to a $3 Billion dollar boost to our State's economy in just two months. This means more people are getting a paycheck, paying their rent, and getting what they need from other local businesses.
