CORPUS CHRISTI (Kiii News) -
This weekend, the City of Corpus Christi is asking you to spend your time supporting local businesses.
At a special ceremony at Tuesday's City Council Meeting, Mayor Joe Adame proclaimed this weekend Go Local Corpus Christi. The Downtown Management District came up with the initiative.
You get to buy a discount card that you can use at participating businesses. The idea is to get people to buy local.
"Its whole purpose in life is to promote local business, so large chains cannot participate," said Alan Albin of the Downtown Management District.
The Go Local Corpus Christi initiative will go on Aug. 3-5.
