OUR mission:Our mission is to make shopping locally a CULTURAL IMPERATIVE in Tallahassee, so that we can have a stronger local-culture economy, become a stronger cultural destination, have a stronger and more diverse entrepreneurial sector, catalyze more innovation, and spur more local investment and influence in development.
We do this through advocacy and marketing, by building an ever-growing network on all tiers of the community, and by advocating for stronger policy on all levels of local government. Vertical Divider

more community wealth & more control over our futureWe are in constant search of outside developers and investors who can help grow Tallahassee and it's economy. And they are necessary. But we don't pay enough attention -- through our policies and collective efforts -- to how much is leaking out of the bucket through our spending habits. When we spend heavily at chains, most of that money leaves Tallahassee. When we shop local, the opposite happens. Your spending makes all the difference!
