Winter 2026 Eastern Shore Business Sentiment Survey

The Mid-Shore Regional Council, Tri-County Council for the Lower Eastern Shore, Upper Shore Regional Council, and the Economic Development Departments from all nine counties on Maryland’s Eastern Shore are partnering with BEACON and the Eastern Shore Regional GIS Cooperative (ESRGC) at Salisbury University to hear directly from our business community at the start of 2026.

We invite you to complete this brief survey to share your thoughts on the current economic climate and outlook for the region. Your input will help us better understand local business conditions and guide policymakers in addressing future economic needs.

The survey will take approximately 8 minutes to complete. All responses will be kept confidential and reported only in aggregate.

Thank you for your participation and valuable insight.
