DEMONSTRATING LOCALISM

 

It all starts with a vision…

When someone says they “buy local” or “support local”, what do they mean by that? It’s so easy to say it. But to demonstrate can be a different thing. In this working document, we are defining what it means to us to be local. We define local and meausre our success towards this vision.
