Local businesses are more interconnected than they might appear from the outside and the networks connecting community enterprises to each other, to local institutions, and to the customers they serve are what give local economies their resilience. This category covers community commerce and local business from a connection and ecosystem perspective: how local businesses build peer networks through chambers of commerce and business associations, how community enterprises connect with local government and anchor institutions, and how local business owners exchange knowledge, referrals, and mutual support. You’ll find resources for local businesses building community presence, neighborhood enterprise owners developing partnership networks, and community business advocates building the ecosystem infrastructure that makes local commerce viable. When local businesses connect, everyone in the community benefits.
