Hello, I am State Representative Barb Byrum.
When we buy local, not only are we investing in our community, but we're also creating jobs for our neighbors and families.
Local businesses are the largest employer in our community. Small businesses account for over 98 percent of Michigan employers.
In this ever-expanding global market, we must remember to support our local shop owners and small businesses.
The food is fresher; the stores are closer; and they probably know you by name. You can save money and use less gas because you don't have to drive as far to buy the items you need.
Help keep our communities thriving by buying local!
