Pueblo businesses that are owned and operated by residents of Pueblo County are eligible to be either self-nominated or nominated by a member of the community for a monthly Spotlight, which is selected by the Buy Local Advisory Board. Businesses will be featured on the Pueblo County website, social media, and may receive other non-cash media opportunities from local partners.

- Is the business privately owned or operating as a cooperative?
- Is the business located in Pueblo County, Colorado?
- Do the majority (greater than 50%) of the owners or directors who have a controlling interest live in Pueblo County, Colorado the majority of the year (greater than 50% of the time)?
