Why should Peoria be LocalProud?

1. For every $100 spent at a locally owned business, $45 goes back into the community and our tax base - compared to only $14 for every $100 spent at a chain store.

2. Local businesses often hire people who have a better understanding of the products they're selling, and they take more time to get to know their customers.

3. Small, local businesses are one of the largest employers nationally and in Peoria. Local businesses offer greater loyalty to their employees.

4. Independent businesses make purchases requiring less transportation and usually set up shop in commercial corridors instead of developing on the fringe. This means less sprawl, less congestion, less pollution, and less habitat loss.

5. Local businesses need comparatively less infrastructure investment and make more efficient use of public services as compared to nationally owned stores entering the community.

6. In an increasingly homogenized world, people are more likely to invest in or move to communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and attitude.
