 Greetings.
Spring has sprung in Newtown! The Newtown Economic Development Commission (EDC) along with all Newtown businesses have launched "The Newtown Way: Buy Local First" campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to educate the Newtown community of the variety of businesses and services Newtown has to offer. We encourage you to check out
 the Newtown business directory on our website www.newtown.org and consider buying products and services locally before leaving your community. If you have a Newtown business and it's not in the directory, please add it, it's easy to do. We also have storefront materials for all businesses to display as proud Newtown merchants. Contact me if you would like materials for your storefront. Electronic images of these materials and logos for use on your business website and social media can also be found on the EDC website. We encourage all Newtown businesses to utilize these materials and "own" this campaign. Newtown and Sandy Hook have many new businesses opening this spring. Look for details and information later in this newsletter. The EDC business seminar series offered in March was a huge success, full of business owners. The EDC is looking to host more business seminars for our community this fall. If there's a particular topic you'd like to learn more about, please contact me with your ideas. We are here to help your business grow and profit. You can always reach me at 203-270-4281 or by email. Thank you and remember to Buy Local First, Betsy Paynter Economic Development Coordinator |
