Today, the Economic Development Commission launched Milford's "Local Proud" campaign on the steps of City Hall. According to their research, "Each dollar that consumers spend in locally owned, independent businesses returns 25 cents more to our community than if that money had been spent elsewhere." The campaign will encourage Milford residents to visit our local businesses.

The Economic Development Commission, with Genevieve as chair, began work on this project in January. More information can be found at their website: http://www.milfordlocalproud.com/

Alderman Suzanne Manning was in attendance as well, and posted a video of the event here: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=142969027193
