Rockwall, TX (August 12, 2024) – For 95 years, our chamber has been dedicated to fostering economic growth, supporting local businesses, and enhancing the quality of life for all residents. I love being able to spotlight and encourage collaboration of our locals to remember to keep it real…real LOCAL!
Supporting Local Businesses
Local businesses are the backbone of our community. This time of year is busy for so many with back-to-school shopping and activities related to that. I urge you to think about who you can support locally with your next purchase. This is everything from pens and paper to groceries and golf to physicals and prescriptions. By making the choice to support our locals, you can make an incredible difference in people’s lives. You are likely supporting a family who is depending on customers just like you to send their daughter to dance class or helping with a new baseball glove for their son. “Shopping local” is more than just a trendy saying, it’s a movement. It’s a choice. Keeping dollars in our community creates jobs and a sense of local pride. It helps continue to sustain our amazing unique local character that can be seen in our beautiful, historic downtown and the Harbor District.
Enhancing Quality of Life
Shopping local and economic growth go hand in hand with improving the quality of life for our residents. Our chamber is involved in several projects aimed at making Rockwall the best place to live, work, and play. These efforts not only attract new businesses and residents but also ensure that our community remains a vibrant and enjoyable place for all.
Looking Ahead
I am confident that our community will continue to thrive by making the choice to shop, dine and play locally. Our chamber is committed to supporting local businesses, fostering economic growth, and enhancing the quality of life for all residents.
By making this choice together, we can build a stronger, more resilient community for generations to come.
Thank you for your continued support of our friends and neighbors. Shop, dine and support local!
