Applications were accepted from November 30 for groups consisting of more than 15 businesses, and 16 businesses were adopted. Applications are still being accepted.

Some businesses have already ended, but if you collect 3 or more receipts purchased at stores in the city and apply, you can win gift certificates and local products in the "All Hirosaki Ale Campaign" and the first fare for taxi users by lottery. There is a "taxi first-ride fare cashback campaign" that presents tickets for.

The campaign sponsored by the Hirosaki Caterers Association using the subsidy will allow hors d'oeuvres from 12 stores in the city, including restaurants and caterers, to be ordered at half price from January 8. According to Yasuharu Koyamauchi, the representative of the association, sales at some stores have decreased by 70 to 80% compared to last year.

Mr. Koyamauchi said, "The new coronavirus is expected to continue, and now it is necessary to support the local economy in the region. Thank you as an initiative to energize the local economy as much as possible. Use or repeat stores that this campaign does not know. I'm glad that it will be an opportunity for me to connect to the next one. "
