Save Our Local Economy Three Stores at a Time

Press Release

The 3/50 ProjectMarch 16, 2010 – Southport, North Carolina (NC) - It is a simple idea but yet so powerful. “Pick 3, spend 50, save your local economy”.  The Southport Oak Island Area Chamber Of Commerce initiated this national campaign locally as a way to remind residents that our local independent business appreciate their business and local support will save our local economy.  The 3/50 Project also reminds residents that supporting local independent businesses is good for them as well.  For every $100 spent in independently owned businesses, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures.  Therefore, keeping resident tax burden lower.   Spend it online and nothing comes home. 

The Southport Oak Island Area Chamber Of Commerce has also teamed up with Brunswick Catch, a non-profit group of commercial fisherman, seafood dealers and restaurant owners committed to bring you the best local seafood.  They will provide local merchants a bookmark flyer that contains information about the 3/50 Project as well as a recipe by Phil & Anna Robinson for Shrimp Gravy.
