September 20, 2017: Fall Bill 19

Recognizing that:

• The Steubenville Stimulus Project is a student-led initiative to encourage students to shop at local business as opposed to chain stores/restaurants or businesses in distant places like Pittsburgh. The objectives to stimulate the local economy and help family businesses through increased spending, and to integrate students into the local community.
• The project was launched midway in the spring 2017 semester and was popular with students. YAF wishes to make a bigger impact by pushing the project at the beginning of the year so that students can make use of the directory all school year long.
• Enough copies will be made to place one in each off-campus mailbox, one for each height, and additional copies to be distributed around campus for offcampus students.
• The project furthers YAF’s mission of fostering citizenship in the community and supporting a free market economy where students choose where to spend their dollars.
