Reporting On Efforts To Stop Chain Stores

The Home Town Advantage Bulletin is a bimonthly newsletter reporting on efforts nationwide to "stop chain store proliferation and support locally owned, independent retail businesses. Learn about land use policies and other tools that can protect the character and vitality communities." Find out how other communities are bucking the "big box" retail trend and encouraging small-scale, homegrown businesses - and why this approach is proving far more beneficial to the local economy."
