American Express has been supporting small businesses with this event since 2010. More than nine in ten businesses in Texas are small businesses, and they employ nearly half of all private-sector employees. Downtown Corsicana has welcomed 28 new businesses in the last 18 months. For every $100 spent locally, almost $70 stays in Corsicana, helping to fuel the city’s economy.
