I am looking to help move BTC forward into our economy more and would like to get some suggestions on how we can get more retailers to accept BTC as a payment. The best part about accepting BTC is that they do not have any threat of charge-back from the customer. I am just looking for some more input before I start approaching some of these local retailers.

I think the first thing that you can do was to conduct an orientation for those local business you want to encourage.
And in this orientation you should promote how useful btc was.
Then, told them the advantage of having bitcoin now adays.
Say that it was the new trend of currency.

Exactly, we should first encourage local merchants, explain what it is, what it is born from, how the network works (as btc arrives and leaves) and for this we must be extraordinarily familiar (explain well exemplifying current news) and patients many traditionalists hate new ideas), since most sellers are still attached to the old payment model (fiat, credit, check) so accepting a new form of payment is sure to be a slow and steady process.
