As the Institute for Local Self Reliance reports,
"one of a city's greatest assets is its unique
character, and another is its skilled residents.
Luckily for cities, these strengths can reinforce
each other. A recent study, published in the
journal Sociological Spectrum, fnds that the
presence of locally owned retailers is one factor
that leads residents to stay put. The authors of
the study fnd that states with a greater share of
locally owned retail experience a less-steep slope
of people, especially college graduates, migrating
out from their counties."
"Though locales that encourage or allow
absentee-owned retail may experience
competitive advantage in the short run, they will
not hold their own in the long run—in this case,
their own highly skilled workers," the authors
write. "In a globalized world, local places and
regions' spaces and establishments creatively
infused with local favor become one of the few
resources that are not available elsewhere."
So by supporting our Louisville-owned
independent businesses, we not only keep
Louisville weird, we keep our talented people!
