Support the Chamber's Buy Local Campaign

By shopping locally, dining locally, doing business locally you not only get personal service and real value, you also help strengthen our local community and economy.

Here in Catonsville, as in other parts of Baltimore, we would like to begin 2009 with a “Buy Local Campaign”. Buy Local, is a campaign to encourage area residents to patronize the many local independent businesses in order to improve the quality of life in Catonsville and enhance the economic vitality of our community.

By supporting locally owned businesses, you are supporting local businesses who support you in turn, creating all sorts of positive outcomes for your business community, your neighbors, and yourself:

• Supporting the qualities that make Catonsville different and unique in an increasingly homogenized world
• Keeping money in your community
• Having an influence on the products and services local businesses offer – they’re buying for the community
• Helping community businesses grow and create jobs
• Getting better service from business owners who know you
• Building the spirit and morale of your local business community
• Cutting costs of transport by purchasing locally produced goods
• Helping community non-profits
• Helping the environment by cutting transport and commercial sprawl
• Putting your taxes to good use

Bottom line? You’re supporting Catonsville’s character and economy. In an increasingly standardized world, people are more likely to invest in or move to communities that also preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and unique personality.
