The Power of Local is...

Better Economics:
Dollars spent at Chelan-owned businesses stay in Chelan. Local circulation is often 3 times more than money spent at national chains.

Better Community:
Local businesses contribute more to our schools and community events.

Better Leadership:
Local ownership provides long term commitment to the health and progress of our valley.

Better Food:
Food travels an average of 1400 miles before it reaches your dinner table. Local agriculture provides delicious food, saves energy, and helps our environment.

What is a local living economy?
A local living economy provides secure and fulfilling livelihoods for all people, works in harmony with natural systems, supports biological and cultural diversity, and fosters a community life. (www.balleseattle.org)
