Support local, OEC Fiber-connected businesses this season
What would you say if we told you it was possible to find the perfect holiday gift and support your local community this holiday season? The solution is simple. Shop local.
Shopping online retailers has become the norm for many of us over the last few years, mostly because it’s quick, convenient and lets you shop in your favorite pair of footy pajamas. As easy as it can be for some of us, shopping online hurts the places we live more than we might think.
Oklahoma funds its communities through local sales tax. Nearly 33% of state and local income comes from sales tax. By shopping local, you are helping fund things like education and road repairs.
