About ACC
ACC is a nationwide initiative designed to strengthen local economies by connecting towns, small businesses, nonprofits, colleges, and community banks. We provide tools, data, and partnerships that help communities grow and thrive together.
Unlike national search engines or big-box solutions, ACC focuses exclusively on local. Our platforms, like Townica™ and Data Diamonds™, put small businesses and hometown institutions at the forefront of visibility and growth.
