Shop, Dine and Spend Locally!
The Lower Makefield Economic Development Commission encourages residents to shop, dine and support our community. Here are some reasons how it benefits all of us:

1. Dollars remain in our local economy. When you shop here, you help to create jobs, fund more services through taxes, invest in neighborhood improvement, and promote community development.

2. Local business owners invest in our community. Businesses are owned by people who are our neighbors and are invested in Lower Makefield's future. They help to build strong communities by contributing to local charities, and by supporting sports teams, service clubs, schools activities, and more.

3. It's in our backyard. Reduce your environmental impact and save money at the same time. Shopping in our community means no need for long drives. Everything you need is right here in our own backyard.

4. Recognize what local businesses face. The economy is tough on everyone, including area businesses. Shopping, dining and spending here helps our businesses stay healthy and viable so that they can continue to create jobs, pay taxes and serve their customers.

5. Keep our community unique. Lower Makefield offers an exceptional quality of life with its historic properties, open space and farmland, bustling neighborhoods and local businesses.
