Shopping locally and supporting township businesses is being urged this holiday shopping season \u2013 and township officials are urging residents to utilize the \u201cBuy in Brick\u201d program to earn a property tax rebate in the process.<\/p>\n

Mayor John Ducey has joined mayors across the United States in proclaiming this Saturday, Nov. 29 to be Small Business Saturday as part of a national initiative to support locally-owned small businesses. The initiative was first promoted by Women Impacting Public Policy, a non-partisan small business advocate and operational arm of the Small Business Saturday Coalition.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmall businesses are the backbones of our communities.\u00a0 Many of our small business owners have deep roots in Brick Township.\u00a0 They were born here, went to school here and continue to live here,\u201d said Ducey, in a statement. \u201cThey give back a great deal to Brick Township and I encourage all residents to support them and show your appreciation for all they do for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond helping the town\u2019s business community, Brick residents can \u201cshop small\u201d and save on their taxes through the township\u2019s Buy in Brick program. Under the program, participating businesses donate back a pre-determined percentage of a resident\u2019s bill to the resident\u2019s property taxes. Those who wish to participate use a card issued at town hall to receive the rebate on their taxes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program is a win-win for the entire community,\u201d said Ducey. \u201cIt gives residents the opportunity to lower the amount of money they pay in property taxes by shopping in town. For business owners, it gives them the opportunity to promote their business and gain a lot of new customers and make sure their current customers keep doing business with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
