Published purpose

With rising costs, a slow economy, and the threat of tariffs continuing, Village Media plans to develop a project designed to help people save money in their local community. As part of the custom Villager platform, Village will develop a local commerce portal. The portal will gather data from local grocery stores, gas stations and other retail outlets and allow local readers to optimize their local shopping behaviour.
