Just a reminder that Local First is a growing movement in communities across the nation.
Think Boise First is opening for membership September 1, to support and promote local businesses in the Boise area. We're excited for them, and the growing participation of businesses all across the USA - in building strong relationships with other locals.
I also like what one founding member, Beth Geagan, says about how local business builds more sustainable communities:
"By sustainable, we mean in terms of what will endure and impact the quality of life here," Geagan said, insisting that choices consumers make can either chip away at or conserve a city's cultural character and socio-economic stability.

Thanks for the post. We're grateful for the work you're doing to build a sustainable community in Denver. You have set some great examples for us to follow. Geagan, Boise

I also think it's important (and exciting) that communities from all regions of the USA are examining our views of what makes for stronger local economies, and coming together to solve the economic problems we're facing. This isn't about one-size-fits-all solutions, but about coming together as the unique communities we are.
Keep us posted!
