The 3/50 Project - How YOU can save local business

Which three local businesses would you miss if they closed their doors? Small business (defined as having 500 or fewer employees) are the lifeblood of the American economy.  For every $100 spent in locally owned stores, $68 remains in the local economy. In contrast, only $43 of every $100 remains local when spent in national chains, and little or no local revenue results from online purchases.
