The Shop Local. Here in Hanover, VA! campaign recognizes the importance of supporting small businesses, the jobs they help create, and the culture they foster in our community. The campaign incorporates the Here in Hanover, VA App with listings of various businesses as well as various marketing materials to display and for use on social media. The Department of Economic Development is working to provide a comprehensive list of all businesses in the County, and will announce when that link is available on the app.
“Overall, small businesses make up two-thirds of new jobs created nationally and almost 44% of GDP. Locally, our existing businesses continue to be the backbone of our economy here in Hanover County and we are always looking for new and creative ways to support their growth and success. I encourage citizens to purchase locally when possible. These revenues support important community priorities, including our Sheriff’s Office, Fire and EMS, Hanover schools, and our community-based services. As we roll out our shop local campaign – I, and your entire Hanover County Board of Supervisors, want to personally thank our small business community for their investment in Hanover,” said Sean Davis, Henry District Supervisor.
It is always a good idea to shop small to support your local economy, your friends, neighbors and family! Get creative with your locally sourced gifts by supporting a local not-for-profit, purchasing a gift certificate for a local restaurant or activity, or buy locally online. Now, more than ever, it is important to invest in your local restaurants, shops, and service providers. SHOP LOCAL! HERE IN HANOVER, VA!
