Coming Soon: Economic Well-Being Survey
Earlier this year, many of you shared valuable insights through our Community Well-Being Survey. Those findings are now informing our conversations with City leadership and partners.

In August, we’ll be launching our Economic Well-Being Survey to better understand how businesses are performing and what the outlook looks like heading into fall.

The survey will be brief and focused, and your input will directly support upcoming budget and advocacy discussions.

Please keep an eye out for it in the coming weeks! 🙂
