>This just floors me because as much as several of us have been screaming (and I've written about several times), it's apparently fallen on deaf ears in Dayton/Montgomery County.
Now Beavercreek has beat us to the punch... with a "Buy Beavercreek" campaign promoting buying local. I stumbled across two articles online.
May 28 in the DDN

What really gets me is this...why didn't someone in Dayton do something sooner!?! And, this effort is lead by the Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce; which leads me to ask what Dayton's Chamber is doing besides focusing on membership growth and coddling up to politicians? Alot of people are engaged in trying to change things at a grassroots level. Where's the business community? It whines about problems but isn't necessarily there to be part of the solution.
There's nothing wrong with supporting Beavercreek. As a region we should all be concerned about our economic health. All I have to say is, we thought of it first....but then again, we have a history of being all talk and no action.
Im going to "Buy Washington Township"
