Impact of Economic Downturn
Many cities are struggling with decreasing revenue and increasing costs as our nation’s economic downturn continues. Financial pressures translate to less disposable income and many consumers are holding off on purchases of large taxable items including new cars and appliances.
When you make a planned purchase, think Folsom rather than surrounding communities. Help preserve Folsom’s outstanding quality of life and the services we all enjoy.
