Supporting local merchants is the Number 1 goal of the city’s Downtown Development Board, stresses chairman Earl Taylor.
And with this being the last full weekend before Christmas, Taylor is encouraged shoppers are visiting the wide variety of local merchants for their last-minute gift purchases, based on redemption of the their downtown dollars.
Taylor stresses the downtown merchants are local people who are providing a service.
And, as you work your way through that Christmas gift list, Taylor says if you purchased or were the recipient of Downtown Dollars, what better time to redeem them and support local merchants.
After enduring several rounds of closures and restricted shopping due to the pandemic, some downtown merchants will face another challenge in the new year.
Tayolr tells myFM what’s on the horizon in the coming months.
If you haven’t shopped downtown recently, Taylor reminds residents and visitors to experience a unique destination.
