Support City Services by Shopping Manchester Businesses
The City of Manchester encourages residents to keep their dollars in the community whenever possible by shopping at local businesses. Manchester is home to more than 300+ businesses that are making a positive impact in the community. Each business contributes to Manchester’s high quality of life and plays an important role in building a strong local economy.
Shopping at Manchester businesses has its benefits beyond mere convenience. When residents support local businesses, they make their community a better place to live. Money spent at Manchester businesses stays in the local economy, creating jobs and expanding the City’s tax base. Shopping local is important.
Local businesses play a large role in funding City services. In Fiscal Year 2017, 55 percent of Manchester’s General Fund Revenues came from sales taxes. By shopping locally, residents can be sure that their tax dollars support Manchester City services.
Although the holiday season has passed, it is never too late to use your dollars locally, remembering that your city and neighbors will be better for it.
