Think Columbus First is a new campaign launched at 2011 Comfest by a new coalition of organizations and locally owned businesses called Support Our Local Economy (SOLE). We will be updating this website with helpful information about how you can make a difference every time you purchase goods or services.
Where did you spend your $2 bill?
Have you seen one of our $2 bills? Did you get it as change from a local merchant? If so, pass it on to a friend or spend it at local independent business. Spread the word about keeping more of our money circulating locally.
For more information about the SOLE coalition visit our website solenow.org. Sign up for updates to learn more about how a strong local economy can benefit our communities and neighborhoods in central Ohio. Sign up on our mailing list.
