MicroSTAR 5 STAR Guidelines
The following are basic guidelines for determining “local".
The closer your business relates, the higher the STAR Ratings. 5 stars being the highest, 1 star being the lowest.
MicroSTAR's Support Local priority is committed to locally owned businesses, locally produced products & services.
If unsure, please contact your closest MicroSTAR City or Community Manager.
The three general guidelines are:
1) Owner lives locally.
2) Products/services produced locally.
3) Products/services distributed locally, either by producer or distributor.
