Choosing Local First—Build Local
What you can do—think Local First

Chances are you know someone who works in the "building" field. Build Local represents “building” in a broad sense -- home improvement projects, remodeling, energy conservation, landscaping, gardening, going solar and new construction. GoLocal encourages you to choose locally-owned companies first when making contracting or purchasing decisions.
What can you do to support Sonoma County's building contractors and retailers?
Make a local first choice. You need some lumber and nails, decide to go to Friedman's or Sebastopol Hardware Center. You are installing new flooring to a room, choose Conklin Bros. or Empire floors. Maybe you're planting a garden, or landscaping, choose Harmony Farm and Supply, Wheeler Zamaroni, or Cricket Landscapes.
Every time you choose a GoLocal business member and make a purchase, more of what you spend stays local and goes to support the jobs these businesses represent.
