Group Celebrates a Year of Supporting Watertown’s ‘Local’ Businesses
Watertown, MA – Chances are you’re not familiar with Watertown Local First … yet. After all, the non-profit organization just celebrated its first anniversary last week, but the strength of the group keeps growing as more and more local merchants join forces.
Watertown Local First hosted a party at the Mount Auburn Club on Oct. 4, which included a talk by a national speaker on the building of strong local economies.
Watertown Local First (WLF) has grown to about 50 members in the past year, including long-standing local businesses, such as Direct Tire and Auto Service, Arax Market, Russo’s, Surface Works, Uncommon Grounds, V.I.P. Auto Watertown Savings Bank, Maximo’s and Arsenal Center for the Arts, as well as newcomers who have just put out their first shingle.
