Go Local

Shop Local. Dine Local. Stay Local. Support Local. BE Local.

The Goal

Did you know…90% of net new jobs in the U.S. are created by locally-owned businesses?!  They support us, so we need to support them! Please consider pledging to shift 10% of your out of town spending back to Bowman County! Your spending has a HUGE impact on our local economy, because when you spend here your money stays here.  Support our GREAT local businesses.  Our goal is to promote our local businesses, increase local spending, and decrease consumer leakage. Consumer leakage means that businesses outside the local trade are fulfilling the demand for purchase of goods and services. Therefore, demand is “leaking” out of the local area. We encourage you to visit www.GoLocalND.com to learn more, pledge to shift 10% of your spending, and take the leakage survey.
