As our community gets back to normal, now is a powerful opportunity to show support for the small businesses that make Arlington vibrant and resilient. Please consider shopping local and supporting affected businesses including retail shops and restaurants, personal services, and home services. Every purchase helps offset revenue lost during weather-related closures, supports local jobs, and ensures our businesses can continue serving the Arlington community.
