Who is A Culpeper Local
There are nearly 53,000 of us who have chosen to make Culpeper County our home. We live, play, work, eat, shop and go to school here. When we support our local small businesses we help strengthen our economy, create local jobs, and support our community.
For each dollar spent at a Culpeper business, 2 of the 5 cents paid in state taxes returns back to Culpeper to help pay for our schools, parks, fire and rescue, and other amenities.
How can you Be A Culpeper Local?
The next time you go shopping, think about where you spend your money. If each Culpeper household diverted just $50 a week already being spent outside of Culpeper County, and purchased those same products in Culpeper, it could generate thousands of dollars annually for Culpeper County services!

Top Three Reasons to Shop, Eat, Enjoy Locally
Keep Dollars in Culpeper’s Economy
When residents shop at Culpeper small businesses, they help infuse our local economy. In addition to supporting their favorite small businesses, most of the money they spend will end up re-circulating back into the local community, as small businesses purchase from and support other local businesses.
Help Create Local Jobs
Small businesses play a significant role in job creation as they employee individuals within our community and they offer a range of employment options across different sectors. By offering employment opportunities, small businesses contribute to reducing unemployment rates and fostering economic growth in their communities. This job creation not only improves individuals’ livelihoods but also enhances the overall economic well-being of our community.
Strengthen Your Community
Small businesses and their owners are involved in our local community. Many sponsor local events and non-profits, offer mentorship to our students, serve in civic groups or on local boards, and volunteer their time. They are committed to our community because they call Culpeper home. By supporting small businesses you help them continue to support Culpeper in their own ways as well.
