Goshen, N.Y. – Holiday shopping can be hectic, but it also provides a reason to celebrate and support Orange County businesses and the positive impact they have on the community.
Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus urges residents to support local businesses, especially during the Holiday season. Money that is spent at local shops, restaurants and stores means successful downtowns and a thriving economy for Orange County.
“It may be easier to order online or buy from a big box store, but the time and money invested in utilizing local shops and businesses is well worth the effort,” Neuhaus said. “The people who own and operate these establishments are our friends and neighbors. They are a vital part of our successful economy and they deserve our patronage and support.”
“Local shops and businesses are a vital part of our economy and I encourage residents to support them, not just during the Holiday season, but year-round,” Neuhaus said. “The folks who own and operate these establishments are our friends and neighbors. They are an integral part of our communities and deserve our support.”
In the spirit of gift-giving and the holiday season, Neuhaus suggests shopping for gifts in Orange County’s downtowns where there are so many wonderful options. Get started at these popular gift shops that will draw you into the heart of some of our towns. You’ll be sure to find more local shops and great restaurants wherever you go.
