Investing in local economies is not just about goodwill; it is the single most effective strategy for building enduring community wealth and resilience, especially here in Massachusetts. Small businesses—defined as those with fewer than 500 employees—are the true engine of the Commonwealth, employing over 1.4 million workers and accounting for approximately 43.9% of all private-sector employment in the state (SBA Office of Advocacy, 2024). This impact is magnified through the crucial Local Multiplier Effect, where money spent at independent, local businesses recirculates within the community up to three times more than money spent at absentee-owned national chains (Civic Economics data cited by AMIBA). This sustained local spending not only generates more income and jobs in towns like Millbury but also directly contributes to the local tax base, funding essential services like schools and infrastructure, and ultimately fostering a stronger, more equitable economic future for all Massachusetts residents.
