1. Introduction

Thank you for helping with this Business Retention & Expansion Survey. This process is a key step in building an effective partnership between local businesses and the community. There are two rules we have for this survey:
 
1. The Skip It Rule - If there is a question you can't or don't want to answer, it can be skipped, no explanation necessary.
 
2. Confidentiality - All information provided is confidential. Subject to freedom of information legislation, all information you provide will be confidential. All volunteer interviewers and individuals involved in the project are committed to this principle. All the responses from business will be summarized as percentages or averages in the report, guaranteeing anonymity. Based on the analysis of the survey results, actions will be developed and implemented to support the growth of existing business and the economy.
 
After the survey results are compiled, we will develop strategic action plans to respond to business needs, concerns and opportunities.
