LoveLocal to Support Local

Wish you could do more to support the local businesses in downtown Trenton? It’s easier than you think. Just share a little love on social media and, whenever you can, include the hashtag #LoveLocalTrenton when you post.

#LoveLocal is more than a hashtag. It's a movement to save small businesses and downtown districts everywhere.
TDA launched its own #LoveLocal campaign during the coronavirus pandemic to help keep the businesses in downtown Trenton open by sharing their stories and promoting their services. The campaign has grown to include a number of initiatives to support our businesses.

"The Love Local Gift Card program has brought many new customers to 1911 Smokehouse BBQ, something we really appreciate during these trying times. When you support small local businesses, you also support local jobs. More than 90 percent of our employees live locally, so dollars spent here are recirculated in the community."
