What Buying Local Does for You and Livingston

When you Buy Local, you support yourself, support community groups, keep Livingston unique, reduce environmental impact, create more good jobs, receive better service, invest in the kind of community you value, put your taxes to good use, buy what you want and not what someone wants you to buy, and encourage local prosperity. Many studies bear this out. For more details about all of these reasons, and a look at a summary of the supporting studies, visit the Reasons to Buy Local page.

What is the Livingston Buy Local mission?

We aim to inform citizens of the values provided by community-based businesses and to remind citizens about the importance of local businesses to the Livingston economy, culture and social fabric. Livingston Buy Local assists in group branding, promotion and advertising in order to elevate the collective profile of locally owned businesses. Livingston Buy Local helps to create strong relationships between the community members, local government, and the media to inform local decision-making and give a voice to the locally owned independent business community.

What businesses are eligible to join?

Currently the Livingston Buy Local Campaign is exclusively focused on businesses located in and around the city of Livingston. Proprietors of businesses located elsewhere are encouraged to contact us to learn more about this initiative and how they can start similar campaigns in their area. To participate in Livingston Buy Local, a business or organization must be locally owned and independent.
