| A Consumer Awareness Campaign |
The Economic Feasibility Study identifies significant sales leakage
($2.9 million per year) to neighboring towns. A previous DIRT
resident survey indicated that the everyday items they need are
not available in Lake City. We think that many everyday items are
tucked away - in our quaint stores - and we can help each other
discover them! By doing business locally, we strengthen our
immediate economy and turnover dollars in the community
longer. According to national statistics, every dollar spent at a
local place of business is usually spent 6 to 15 times before it
leaves the community. $1 becomes $6 which becomes $15 in
community value.
May Matters
Several locals have volunteers to buy locally for the
month of May and share their experiences here
