Choosing to shop Flagstaff has many benefits to residents. For instance, a local purchase generates revenue that helps support parks and recreation, public safety, workforce and much more. Specifically, purchasing a cup of coffee from a neighborhood coffee house, or a vehicle from a Flagstaff dealership, directly results in collected taxes, which provide for better Flagstaff parks, beautification programs and much more.
When residents engage and take part, it is making a difference and connecting what is loved about Flagstaff and living here with everyday actions. Flagstaff Citizen of the Year and volunteer Gene Munger said, “My most rewarding time is reading to young children at our local schools, and if you have that opportunity, it will change your life forever.”
City of Flagstaff Economic Vitality Director Heidi Hansen said, “It’s about the feeling you get when giving back to the community and that actions do matter. You love Flagstaff. We love Flagstaff. Let’s come together, take the pledge, and most importantly, share our actions, and be the city where people continue to visit, discover, grow and thrive.”
To qualify for Flagstaff local rewards, residents must live within the Flagstaff Unified School District boundary and actions must occur within Flagstaff city limits.
Flagstaff Local – My Actions Matter is brought to you by the City of Flagstaff to highlight the importance of keeping our collective actions local. FBN
