I Invest Here! See Friends. Shop Local.
| | |
25 of your friends and neighbors created a video to make sure you invest in your own town this weekend.
 | | I Invest Here! |
When you shop online or in another town, not one dollar returns to Homewood to enhance your quality of life and standard of services. For every $100 you spend here, $68 returns to Homewood through taxes, payroll, and expenditures. When you spend elsewhere we lose the data that builds Homewood's reputation as having the buying power to attract the new businesses you want here. It's simple: Pick 3 shops you'd hate to see go; spend $50, and boost Homewood's economy.
