Stronger community: Stronger Economy
When you buy goods and services from businesses in Mystic, you’re increasing our region’s gross regional product (GRP), an indicator of an area’s economic health.
Beyond the buck: Better schools, roads and more
Whether you’re buying clothes from a local boutique or commissioning a nearby architectural firm to expand your company’s headquarters, you’re also simultaneously supporting local roads, schools, parks, police and fire departments and other quality-of-place projects.
Going local creates jobs
When a business is healthy, it can keep its doors open and sustain its workforce. Better yet, it can grow and hire more workers who also have individual spending power.
New Infrastructure and better business
Strong businesses also make for a more vibrant, robust and powerful Mystic, which increases our attractiveness to companies looking to expand or relocate. Growth breeds growth.
Don't pass the buck
What if you buy the same product – whether as a private consumer or business – from a company physically located outside the region? You’re helping fund that OTHER community’s upgrades, not your own.
