Supporting Local Businesses
“This initiative removes a common barrier to visiting local establishments and encourages the community to rediscover favorite spots and explore new ones —all while directly supporting local businesses, the chamber of commerce said in a statement, adding that many businesses in the area are still grappling with the impacts of the COVId-19 pandemic and the wildfires in January.
