Commends Danny Cottrell, owner of The Medical Center Pharmacy in Brewton, for his efforts to stimulate the local economy during difficult economic conditions.

Cottrell disbursed $16,000 in bonuses to his staff, providing $700 per full-time employee and $300 per part-time employee.

Requested that employees donate 15% of their bonuses to charitable causes and spend the remainder locally in Brewton.

Distributed bonuses in two-dollar bills to make the money's circulation traceable within the community, resulting in more than 60 stores noticing the influx of two-dollar bills.

Resolution notes that Cottrell's efforts generated national attention for Brewton and inspired emulation by businessmen in other communities.
