There are now 118 businesses signed on as sponsors of The Batavian. That's the highest total ever.
In the past two months, we've been please to have the following businesses sign on as sponsors:
I've written before about how supporting local businesses keeps more local dollars in our home community. Communities with vibrant local businesses demonstrate all kinds of benefits for local residents.
Along those lines, a recent study found that counties with thriving small businesses also have healthier residents.
The study of 3,060 counties and parishes in the contiguous United States -- published online in the "Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society" and forthcoming in its March print issue -- brings new evidence to a body of research literature and a debate among sociologists, who traditionally have advanced two competing hypotheses about how small business impacts public health.
Some sociologists argue that small businesses — unlike chain retail "big box" stores and large manufacturing plants — have a greater investment in the community and thus have more at stake when it comes to the well-being of employees, customers and other local citizens. The LSU and Baylor University researchers, who analyzed national population, health, business and housing data, found that the greater the proportion of small businesses, the healthier the population.
"Some communities appear to have thriving small-business sectors that feature entrepreneurial cultures that promote public health. A place like this has a can-do climate, a practical problem-solving approach in which a community takes control of its own destiny," said co-author Charles M. Tolbert, Ph.D., chair of the Sociology department at Baylor. "The alternative is the attitude that 'Things are out of our control.' "
It's critical we all do all we can to support locally owned businesses.
On The Batavian, you can find information, now, about 118 local businesses. On Shop Batavia, there are now close to 157 local businesses posting information about who they are and what they do.
In other words, it's now easier than ever to support your local business community.
Here's a complete list of sponsors of The Batavian:
There's been some great activity taking place on Shop Batavia recently:
And the list could go on.
If you check the home page of Shop Batavia daily, you'll find new specials and new information about great local businesses.
Remember, when you shop locally, more of your dollars stay in the local community to help our community grow and thrive.
