A win-win tip for those that love Salado

Friends,

     Would you like a win, win tip?

     Shop Salado -- seriously, shop Salado.

     When you shop Salado, we get the sales tax.  When we get the sales tax, it helps keep property taxes down.

     And here is the best part of it all -- you get something for your money.  You get a nice gift for yourself or for a special person.  In addition, you get better village services -- roads, sewer, etc.

     And, you want another reason.  Our shops will continue keeping Salado the quaint, interesting village that everyone loves.

     Belton, Temple, Austin, Georgetown, Killeen, CC, Harker Heights, Round Rock, etc. will not do that for you.  You might get something a few dollars cheaper, but in the long run; you will not get near the advantages of buying in Salado.  You also have to figure in gas cost and time spent driving to save a few dollars.  And, you do not have the endless traffic and the crowds.

     One other thought.  Vendors come in with their trucks to sell.  Salado does not get the sales tax.  If they are from Brownwood and the address on their tax number/certificate is a Brownwood address; Brownwood gets the sales tax.  In addition, vendors do not have to pay rent, insurance, and utilities.  Yes, they have to pay for a permit, but it is nothing compared to our shop owners.

     Please consider shopping Salado carefully.  This is what it is going to take to continue bringing Salado back.  If you love this village and want it to be everything it is now and more, walk the talk.

     Please shop Salado.
