Main Street urges giving Downtown Dollars
Downtown Dollars, which can be spent at Benicia’s downtown shops, restaurants and service companies, are available for sale at Benicia Main St., 90 First St.
“The idea behind Downtown Dollars is to ensure that money stays local,” said Deborah Meyer, Main Street’s event coordinator.
During the past decade, $250,000 in Downtown Dollars has been bought and redeemed at local businesses, rather than being spent elsewhere, she said.
“Downtown Dollars make a great gift for any occasion. They are a particularly popular gift choice for teachers, coaches, and employees,” Meyer said. “For many it takes the guesswork out of gift giving and simply gives the gift of choice.”
Downtown Dollars are sold in increments of $5 and $20, and are redeemable at more than 50 downtown businesses.
