The Utah County Commission has officially declared Saturday as "Small Business Saturday," a resolution aimed at promoting local businesses and encouraging community support. This initiative highlights the importance of small enterprises in the local economy, providing a platform for residents to shop locally and boost neighborhood commerce.

During the meeting, officials emphasized the role of small businesses in fostering community spirit and economic growth. By designating a specific day to celebrate these businesses, the commission hopes to raise awareness and drive traffic to local shops, restaurants, and services.

In addition to the resolution, discussions included strategies for enhancing support for small businesses throughout the year, ensuring that the focus on local commerce extends beyond just one day. The commission's commitment to small businesses reflects a broader trend of prioritizing local economies and community engagement.

As Small Business Saturday approaches, residents are encouraged to participate by shopping at local establishments, reinforcing the vital role these businesses play in the fabric of Utah County.
