Eat Shop Local

VTA’s Thriving Business Program (TBP) is designed to support the local small business community and provide targeted resources to help alleviate potential disruptions during the major construction of the BSVII Project.

Eat Shop Local is the digital marketing campaign focused on enhancing the resiliency of small, local businesses affected by BSVII Project construction. Through Eat Shop Local, “mom and pop” eateries and shops will receive aid such as special promotions and wayfinding signage to help drive foot traffic. They’ll also be featured on the website as a part of Business Spotlights! Check back for more information on the Eat Shop Local campaign (planned for Fall/Winter 2024)!
