If you’re a resident of Chatham-Kent, listen up! We’ve got big news to announce today, news that will be of special interest to local business owners. But before we spill the beans, it’s time for a short economic lesson: Did you know, that for every $100 spent in a locally-owned business, $68 returns to the community through expenditures? Spend the same amount at a national retailer, and only $43 comes back. Spend it on Amazon.com, and the local community receives $0. (Source: 350 Project)
