Local businesses in Yellow Springs are coming together to elevate awareness around SB56 and its potential impact on the local economy. What began as a concern about legislation has grown into a collaborative community effort focused on education, engagement, and civic participation. SB56 explained.

Leading the initiative is Tweedle D’s on Xenia Avenue. The business is providing volunteers (throughout the week and on weekends) and hosting programming designed to inform the public about SB56 and encourage thoughtful dialogue. By creating space for conversation and connection, they are helping residents better understand how policy decisions may affect small businesses and the broader local economy.

This coordinated response reflects more than a reaction to legislation. It highlights the strength of a business community willing to collaborate, share resources, and engage residents in meaningful ways. When local businesses work together, they not only support their own sustainability but also reinforce the civic fabric that keeps a community informed, connected, and empowered.

As conversations around SB56 continue, the message from downtown is clear: collaboration matters, participation matters, and the local economy thrives when the community shows up.
