Cleveland Hts. business owners form a business alliance

For every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $45 of that goes back to the community by strengthening the tax base. For every $100 spent at a chain store, only $14 comes back to the community. Now, a group of Cleveland Heights businessmen are forming an alliance to promote buying from Cleveland Heights businesses to strengthen the local economy and the community.
