Healthy community depends on a healthy economy, and both completely depend on the local businesses in North & West Greater Milwaukee Area Counties!  There are a number of studies out there that illustrate how shopping locally will stimulate the economy. Simply put, more money spent with local businesses stays there (about 68%), where much less money spent with national chains stays in the area (only about 14%), and money spent online... well... simply leaves. Forever.

"It's about the economy, stupid!" - James Carville
