What gives community its unique local flavor? That surprising
restaurant, the lively coffeehouse, a quaint boutique. At the heart of
keeping neighborhoods engaging and healthy is LOCAL BUSINESS. As
America is paved over, becoming one big chainstore strip mall, we find
ourselves drawn to places with character. We hunger for places where we
are known and where the unique expression of an entrepreneur's genius
connects with us and makes us feel at home.
We also find that local businesses employ at least half of the nation's
workforce, and create two out of every three new jobs, but are being
squeezed out by non-local businesses who receive tax subsidies and
public funding. It's time to take back the streets and keep Colorado
communities safe for local business.
Meet the Colorado Local First Directory, your resource for finding and
recommending Colorado-based businesses. A project of the Mile High
Business Alliance, (www.milehighbiz.org) Colorado Local First makes it
easier to locate and support businesses that are more responsible, more
independent, more sustainable.
Local Business Quicksearch
The Colorado Local First Directory is not just an online phone book.
Expanded listings tell you more about these local businesses and how
they impact our community. You are invited to leave feedback about
businesses - tell us which coffee house makes the best brew, and your
favorite place to go dancing. Your experiences will not only help
others find what they're looking for, but provide valuable feedback to
local businesses about what we most want to see from them.
