Measuring the impact of the independent and locally owned business community on Cape Cod
Since 2013 Love Live Local has been communicating the importance of Cape Cod’s independent businesses and citing study after study that show small businesses make communities unique, create more jobs, bring in more tax revenue, donate more to local charities, are more invested in the community’s welfare, contribute less to sprawl, and value their customers more.
In April 2020 Love Live Local commissioned a study from Civic Economics in order to quantify and assess the impact of Cape Cod’s locally owned businesses on our local economy, as compared to national chains and online corporations.
