The Fauquier County
Department of Economic Development, the Fauquier County
Department of Finance, Procurement Division and the Fauquier
County Chamber of Commerce are working to review the
potential of developing a Fauquier County Board of
Supervisors Initiative designed to encourage citizens,
businesses and the County government to purchase goods and
services locally. The proposed program initiative, referred
to as "Buy Local", would incorporate a County supported
promotional campaign, an enhanced County procurement program
and provide important input from the Fauquier County Chamber
of Commerce.
The Department of Economic
Development staff has reviewed opportunities for purchases
of local goods, and provided a
sample listing of new retail,
service and related businesses that have located in Fauquier
County. Staff has further provided options for
establishing a County sponsored "Buy Local" campaign. The
Procurement Division has developed local initiatives
designed to encourage local participation in County
supported procurement opportunities. The Chamber of Commerce
has reviewed their long standing program of "Think Fauquier
First" and has made suggestions on how to strengthen our
local community by supporting our local businesses. |
