You may think you are saving money by driving out of Rhea County to
do your shopping. Unfortunately, it costs you more than just the
extra gas it takes to travel into our neighboring counties.
A portion of each dollar spent is local taxes which go to community benefits.
Your support for local merchants allows them to support YOUR community. When
you fail to support them by shopping online or in other communities, you are
sending funds to support programs that do not benefit your family, friends and
neighbors.
When you shop at home your local sales tax dollars support:
| |
• Local Jobs
• Schools
• Streets and Roads
• Fire Protection
• Parks
• Law Enforcement
• Services for the elderly
• Medical Facilities |
|
If you shop out of town, you still have to pay
for those services.
Our Schools Need Your Help!
The easiest way to help support our local schools is by shopping in our county.
The taxes stay here, help support our schools, and keep our taxes low. It also
provides your children with the tools that they need to excel in their education
and future. Do you
really want to support someone else's schools?
Catch 22:
You don't shop here because the stores aren't here – The stores aren't here
because you don't shop here. It's a cycle. If
you
shop
here, in the stores we do have – those stores
will
thrive,
more
stores
will
open, and the community will prosper. If you shop out of town, you are sending
stores
out
of
town. Let's band together and help our community to prosper!
Want to help bring new stores to your community?
It’s easy,
just shop here!
