Before you opened your business, you made an important choice – to locate it in Carrboro, NC. No matter your original reason, your decision means that you chose to create your business in a town with strong community spirit and progressive values. The success of your business is almost certainly tied to the community thriving. Up to now, you have had to operate independently when addressing all issues big and small, sometimes to the detriment of spending time building and maintaining your business. 

In an effort to organize and create a collective voice on some of these issues, a few of us have created a group called “LocalMotive”. LocalMotive is a newly formed group for local business owners, community leaders, and citizens working together to build and sustain Carrboro’s local living economy. This will be done by creating an independent business network building on Carrboro’s current resources to provide guidance and support to existing as well as new locally owned businesses.
