Resident Business Development & Feedback Survey

The Village of Hampshire Business Development Commission is working to support thoughtful business growth that benefits our entire community. As part of that effort, we invite you to share your opinions on the types of businesses and services you would like to see in Hampshire. Your feedback will help guide future business development in our village.

Local businesses depend on community support. Did you know, for every $100 spent at a local independent business, about $45 stays in the local economy, compared to only about $14 when spent at a national chain.

We encourage input from as many people as possible—including those who may not live in Hampshire but visit frequently. While the survey can only be completed once per person, please feel free to share it with friends and neighbors.

The survey is completely anonymous and should take about 10 minutes to complete.

If you have any questions, please contact the Business Development Commission at: HampshireSurvey@hampshireil.org
