To Clarkstown Town Board members, every little bit counts when it comes to boosting the economy in the town.

While they don't think it will have the affect of a huge stimulus program, Town Board members are hoping a new policy they've adopted will at least show they are committed to supporting local businesses.

The policy requires that, whenever possible, town departments which host community functions and social events supported by taxpayer dollars should have those events at businesses within Clarkstown.
