 1 help them get back up and running. To support this initiative, we are
 2 directing the department to provide marketing and business assistance
 3 grants to allow not-for-profit organizations, associations, munici-
 4 palities, public benefits corporations and for-profit companies to high-
 5 light all the great products and services our local communities have to
 6 offer. Supporting local initiatives keeps more money in the community,
 7 sustains local jobs, strengthens the economy, improves quality of life
 8 and enhances customer service. By shopping at a locally-owned business
 9 rather than international retailers, consumers can have a direct impact
 10 in their community's recovery. The New York first--shop local program
 11 will support marketing campaigns and social media strategies as well as
 12 provide valuable business assistance, including search engine optimiza-
 13 tion. This program will help to bridge the digital divide and encourage
 14 new and existing customers to buy local.
