What makes the towns of Nevada County one-of-a kind are the small businesses that grace Broad Street in Nevada City. That line Mill Street in Grass Valley. Adorn Donner Pass Road in Truckee.

By choosing to support local small businesses, not only are your hard-earned dollars benefitting the community, but you’re also making a positive impact on the environment. Wondering how? Well, when you compare them to large corporations or chains, small businesses leave a significantly smaller carbon footprint. This is because they operate with a keen focus on their limited budget, making deliberate choices when it comes to purchases and resource use. They require less transportation and generate less waste as a result.
