Local First

Local First engages businesses, organizations, and citizens to strengthen our local economy.

Local First is a network of locally owned Upper Valley businesses and organizations. Recognizing that regional prosperity grows from communities actively building economies that strengthen and sustain the places we love, Local First members and Vital Communities work to promote, encourage, and support our local businesses & economy.

Local First is changing its structure from membership-based services to programs that benefit local businesses as well as other participants in the local economy. Stay tuned for more information!
