Seacoast Local is honored that co-founders Karen Marzloff and Tom Holbrook were named 2009 Citizens of the Year by the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, the award was for all of Seacoast Local. In fact, the award officially says, "For extraordinary leadership and effort in creating the Seacoast Local Initiative which promotes and supports local businesses by encouraging people to 'Buy Local.'"

None of this would work without the unflagging support of our local, independent businesses and residents. You can help grow the movement by joining renewing attending an event volunteering

We have a "To Do" list a mile long,

so jump on board!
