Trust me, we've tried. They do nothing for small business. In fact, they're way more interested in luring the next big box competitor to put us out of business. But if you don't pay your dues, you get blackballed. And our town is small enough (in size and mindedness) for that to made a difference.

We do have a Main Street committee. They try, but get no support from the city or the Chamber.

We tried to initiate the 3/50 Project, but you really need that support for it to be successful. http://www.the350project.net/home.html
