Supporting local businesses and keeping sales tax within Park County can have a significant positive impact on the roads and infrastructure of our community. When residents choose to buy locally, they contribute to the growth and sustainability of small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy. These businesses, in turn, generate revenue that directly supports essential services like road maintenance, infrastructure improvements, and community development projects.


By keeping sales tax dollars within Park County, we ensure that a portion of every purchase goes back into funding vital public services. These funds play a crucial role in providing services and ultimately enhancing the quality of life for all residents. Additionally, investing in local businesses fosters a sense of community pride and unity, as it encourages collaboration and cooperation among neighbors and entrepreneurs.


Buying local also helps to reduce environmental impact by minimizing transportation emissions associated with goods imported from distant locations. This aligns with the ethos of sustainability and environmental stewardship that is deeply ingrained in the culture of Park County.


Supporting local businesses and keeping sales tax within Park County is not just about economic prosperity—it's about investing in the well-being and future of our community. By making conscious choices to buy local, we can contribute to the maintenance and improvement of our roads and infrastructure, ensuring a vibrant and thriving community for generations to come.
