What is a locally owned business?

Submitted by admin on Thu, 03/09/2009 - 11:08pm

A locally-owned business is one where the owner and community member has full autonomy and local decision-making authority with respect to his or her business practices. A locally-owned business makes its own decision regarding the name and look of the business, pays all of its own expenses, and has owners who live in the County or nearby.
