Welcome

Looking for a way to help make a difference? How about helping our Clinton County businesses? A support Clinton County business awareness campaign, Buy Local First launched in October and is aimed at encouraging local shopping and use of local service providers by Clinton County citizens.

 

Data reveals that for every dollar spent inside the county as much as 73 cents of it stays within the local economy depending on local or national ownership of the business.

 

Doing something as simple as eating or buying your groceries locally can help! Here’s how:

1. You keep dollars in the Wilmington and Clinton County economy

2. You embrace and support what makes us unique

3. You create and maintain local jobs

4. You help the environment

5. You build our community

6. You conserve your tax dollars

7. You create more choice

8. You receive local expertise

9. You invest in local entrepreneurs

10. You help make Wilmington and Clinton County a destination

 

So the next time you are looking for a new novel, or you decide to eat out, consider making a difference by choosing to buy local, stay local, eat local, and be local.
