Amber Daulbaugh (left center), Vandalia's new director of economic development, met with respresentatives of downtown businesses at Blind Society on Tuesday evening to explain the Shop Local Challenge proposed by Therese Tate (at Daulbaugh's left). Through the challenge, local residents are asked to focus on shopping locally and creating a list of items that they can't get in Vandalia. Daulbaugh will use those lists as she identifies businesses needed in Vandalia.
