Is your spending helping or hurting your community?

I started Nearest.com to help keep money circulating in local communities to protect local jobs and local businesses.

Local businesses contribute significant municipal taxes to help pay for the teachers, police, firefighters and recreational facilities that build strong healthy communities.

When you spend money locally, you actually help sustain your community and you protect local jobs.

In a city of 1 million people, spending just $10 more per person locally every week generates 500 million if local economic activity.

Economist say that money spend locally can circulate up to 3 times.... WOW! that $10 a week per person could add up to 1.5 Billion a year in local economic activity.

How many local jobs would that create?

If you shop in a way that helps those around you, your community is much more likely to prosper.

Everyone wins!
