Making the dollar go a little further is always a good thing.

Who doesn’t want to get more for less? Whether it’s a higher return on a significant capital investment or being able to buy a little extra square footage in a brand new house, businesses and citizens in Taylor County and the surrounding labor market have a huge advantage when it comes to purchasing power.
