DAEDA wants ideas on staying Loyal to Local

IRON MOUNTAIN, MI--   The Dickinson Area Economic Development Alliance is looking for input on how to keep and expand local businesses.

On March 27 the alliance is hosting a Loyal to Local kick-off event in Iron Mountain. Its Small Business Retention and Growth Committee has been working to create a plan to raise awareness of the impact of small businesses on the community. The Loyal to Local campaign will spend at least $25,000 on advertising over the next 12 months.

The event starts at 7:30 a.m. at Bay College West Fornetti Hall in Iron Mountain. To RSVP, email loyaltolocal@DAEDA.org.
