How We Help

Economy

ACC supports local businesses, which generate almost 50% of the US GDP and 67% of new jobs. By empowering these businesses, ACC drives local economic growth and job creation, enhancing the overall prosperity of the community.

Unity

Local businesses are integral to the community fabric, fostering a sense of unity and belonging. ACC helps maintain this unity by ensuring local businesses have the resources they need to compete and thrive against larger corporations.

Through tools like Townica™, ViziWebs™, and Giving Stories^®, ACC enhances the visibility of local organizations, making it easier for community members to discover and support them. This increased accessibility helps local businesses attract more customers and sustain their operations.

ACC provides local organizations with advanced tools like Sprocket^® to help adapt and thrive in an ever-changing economic landscape. By supporting local enterprises, ACC contributes to the long-term resilience and sustainability of the community’s economy.

Time

ACC saves valuable time for local businesses by providing centralized tools and services, such as Townica™, which consolidates online visibility and eliminates the need for multiple listings. This streamlining reduces administrative burdens and allows business owners to focus more on growing their business and engaging with customers.
