Tony F. Co-Chair’s Local First Arizona’s Marketing Committee. Today was an exciting day. We got a chance to pitch this story to the media which was picked up immediately by several Valley news sources and we are pitching the national news media.
In a nutshell, the findings, reported by Applied Economics (AppliedEconomics.net) found that last year SCF sourced 82 percent of its goods and services from other Arizona companies, resulting in an overall economic impact in Arizona of $528.3 million in 2009. This one company – with 555 employees – demonstrates the power of buying locally. In other words, for every person SCF employs Arizona benefits economically by $952,000.
