LOCAL FIRST:
MAYOR ANNOUNCES INITIATIVE TO SUPPORT CITY BUSINESSES
|
Mayor Trent Staggs announced this month that Riverton City had launched a new initiative to support local businesses. Due to COVID-19, many local businesses have become strained and some are financially struggling. The Local First initiative will focus on a marketing and public education campaign with a twofold mission: 1) to educate residents on the benefits to our community of buying local, and 2) to encourage residents to support local businesses more often and where possible.
Stay on the lookout in the weeks and months ahead for special contests and giveaways. Most importantly, remember to support Riverton businesses where you can! Your support of this effort will make all the difference.

SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES NEAR THE 12600 S / BANGERTER HIGHWAY INTERSECTION |
Riverton City encourages residents and neighbors to continue supporting businesses that are located on either side of the Bangerter Highway / 12600 S intersection.
