In mid February, post office boxholders in Eagle will be receiving two $20 Eagle Bucks vouchers to spend at community businesses.
Beginning next month, Eagle residents can go on a little spending spree, compliments of the town and complimentary to local businesses.
To benefit, all residents need to do is pick up their mail and head out to a participating business to redeem their Eagle Bucks.
The Eagle Town Council has allocated $95,000 for the Eagle Bucks promotion. The program is modeled on similar promotions in Basalt, Vail, Boulder and other communities in Colorado. In mid-February, the town will mail out two $20 vouchers to all Eagle post office box holders. Those vouchers can then be redeemed for goods and services at participating local businesses. The program is slated to run through April 15.
