Local Works is a new Flexible Purpose Corporation.  Our purpose is to support small businesses to...

• accelerate localization 
  
• increase community resiliency, and
  
• stimulate local and regional job development   
  

We promote the positive well-being of our employees, suppliers, customers, creditors, the community and the environment.
 
We started the Share Exchange, one of the country's first Local Economy Centers on December 16, 2010 when we officially opened our doors to the public for the Made Local Marketplace's grand opening. The launch of our cowork space, the Share Space, quickly followed on March 1, 2011. Since then, it has been non-stop.

We're working hard to become a financially self-sustaining model and to help other communities open Local Economy Centers of their own. If your community is interested in our model, both the Share Exchange and/or the Made Local Marketplace, please give Kelley a call at 707-331-6850.
