LET US BE YOUR VOICE

As a nonprofit business alliance, we serve as the voice of the local, independent business community.

We advocate for you on the issues that you care about, whether that’s having a greater choice in local energy generation, informing you on increased sales taxes, or creating events around shopping and eating local. We show up for the meetings you can’t so that you can spend more time running your business.
