Think Outside the Barn
December 15th, 2010Promote Shopping Local with Brunswick Bucks
October 18th, 2010Supporting local businesses and fostering economic development are priorities for the Brunswick Area Chamber of Commerce. We are pleased to introduce Brunswick Bucks to encourage residents to spend their money locally to strengthen the local economy. Supporting local businesses adds to the tax base helping our school, streets, city services, ambulance, etc.
Can Brunswick Bucks have an impact? Area communities with similar programs have enjoyed tremendous success. The seven communities we spoke with confirmed that their programs made “significant impacts” in their local economies and were very well received. It is a “Win! Win!” situation for all: consumer, businesses, and area residents. Each of us can make a difference.
Participating “Brunswick Bucks” Businesses: AgriServices of Brunswick, Allen’s Dime Store, Ashlyn House B&B, Bowyer’s Florist, Brunswick Auto Parts, Brunswick Distributing, The Brunswicker Newspaper, Buds & Blossoms, Creative Memories, Finishing Touch, Gordon Building Center, Gourmet Cheesecakes by Kaitlynn, Harmon’s Service, Leanna’s, Plantation Antiques & Interiors, Prenger Foods, Sam Johnson’s Furniture & Appliance, Sew Sweet Quilt Shop, Sherry’s Home Cookin’, Sycamore Valley Farm B&B, and The Railyard Steakhouse.

Recycling
July 21st, 2010Did you know that there has been a volunteer recycling center in Brunswick for the past 15 years. That is correct; Brunswick has been encouraging its citizens to “reduce, reuse, recycle” to help take care of this wonderful world in which we live.
The center, located by the City barn over the railroad tracks across from the water plant, takes aluminum, tin, plastic, styrofoam, magazines, and cardboard the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month from 9 a.m. to noon. Please sort paper products and rinse all plastic and aluminum containers. Glass is not accepted at this time.
Because of Jim Hill’s faithfulness to the project, residents do not have to drive out of town to a recycling center. Thank you for all your hard work, Jim!
