Burlington County Freeholder-Director Joseph Donnelly has announced information sessions to explain the county’s new “buylocal” initiative — “Shop Burlington County First” — to foster economic growth in Burlington County.
The campaign is designed to support in-county businesses, promote business districts and strengthen the local economy.
“If each household in Burlington County spent just $10 more each month at Burlington County businesses, the resulting annual impact to the local economy would be about $20 million,” said Donnelly.
Local businesses, economic development associations, elected officials and residents of Burlington County are welcome to attend the sessions.
The summer sessions are: 6 to 7:30 p.m. Monday at Maple Shade Municipal Building, 200 Stiles Ave., Maple Shade; 6 to 7:30 p.m. July 9 at Carslake Community Center, 209 Crosswicks Road, Bordentown City; and 6 to 7:30 p.m. July 15 at Burlington County CollegeCulinary Arts Center, 21 Mill St., Mount Holly.
