The County of Grande Prairie will launch its 7th annual Business Retention and Expansion survey on March 3rd to help them better understand the needs and challenges of local businesses.
The survey will launch at the beginning of March, when county businesses may be contacted by phone or email to participate. Officials say the survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Feedback gathered during the survey will help shape the county’s economic development initiatives. Reeve Bob Marshall says businesses should take advantage of the chance to participate to ensure their priorities are reflected in future planning.
“This survey is an important opportunity for businesses to share their perspectives on what is working well and where support is needed,” he says. “Your input will help guide our economic development efforts and ensure we are addressing the key issues that matter most to our business community.”
The county has enlisted economic development consulting firm Deloitte LLP, to support the project, and will work alongside county staff to analyze results.
