2017 BR&E survey is now closed. Thanks to all who took the survey!

The BR&E survey is now closed to new responses.  Open since mid-July, 112 individuals had taken the survey by the time it closed on October 13. The Economic Development Commission sincerely thanks all who carved a bit of time out of their busy schedules to respond.  Your participation strengthens the EDC's ability to understand local business needs and positively respond.

The EDC will now begin to aggregate the information to shape a narrative of the responses and to identify our local strengths and weaknesses.   This winter, the EDC will share the results with the City Council and release a summary document available to the community which will 

  • identify areas where the EDC can immediately work on red-flag issues
  • identify strategies or connect programs that improve the local business climate
  • build valuable relationships and dialog among business owners and local government
  • and identify long-term policies to work on over the following two years.
