SHELBY Co., Ala. (WIAT) - If everyone will just spend a little money, it could do wonders for the local economy. That's the strategy for a promotion this Saturday by
The Shelby County Reporter and
The Greater Shelby County Chamber of Commerce.
They're calling it $20 on the 20th. The idea is for each of the county's 200,000 residents to spend $20 at a local business. If that happens, almost $4-million will be pumped into Shelby County's economy.
To encourage local spending, several businesses are holding special promotions including some 20 percent off sales.
