ValleyLists.com – features a seach by zipcode engine for finding your local government offices and schools, as well as a variety of other search tools centered on the Connecticut River bioregion. The developer, Will Flanders of Shelburne Falls, says this: “I am very much into promoting the idea that our lives will be better if we can obtain the basic goods and services we need (food, shelter, heat, energy, water, transportation, health care, etc.) as close to home as possible. I also believe that our communities thrive when the businesses and other institutions we use are as locally owned and controlled as possible. So, you will see that ValleyLists, by its very nature promotes the use of local businesses and organizations.”
