FAQ

What is Buy Lincoln First?

Buy Lincoln First is a new program that will solicit pledges from local businesses to shift 5% of purchases currently made outside of the community to other Lincoln businesses. The program, first and foremost, is an informational campaign, designed to encourage businesses to evaluate purchasing policies and to consider local vendors first.
What is the potential impact?

It is estimated that Lincoln businesses and government entities spend $3-4 billion annually with vendors outside of Lincoln. A shift in just 5% of this number would generate an additional $175 million in local sales. This would lead to numerous new jobs and additional revenue for Lincoln's governmental service providers.
What is the goal of Buy Lincoln First?

Shift a percentage of the money our businesses and citizens spend on goods with companies outside of the Lincoln area to businesses in the Lincoln metro area.
