Buy Local, Invest Local

We want to keep our communities vibrant and strong, right? We want to build places that our children will want to live in and not run away from, right?

What better way to do that than to buy local? Invest local. That's right, sink your investment money into opportunities in your own town.

In the 9,000-person town of Port Townsend, Washington, the residents plan to buy stock in their own community. Although securities law makes it next to impossible for small businesses to issue stock and accept investment, this innovative program they've cooked up has found a way to skirt this obstacle.

Change the future, right at home.
