Business Retention and Expansion Survey

​Thank you to everyone who took the BRE!

BRE is a community-based program that engages communities to examine the local business situation, interpret information collected, strengthen the ability of the community to understand what businesses think, and purposefully respond to local business needs. 

The BRE initiative will provide: a better understanding of the environment needed for local businesses to expand and operate effectively; an opportunity to build stronger relationships among local businesses, government, and development agencies in the community; an improved system to identify the issues of local businesses and provide support in solving those issues; a better idea of the community’s local business climate as seen by the actual business owners and data to inform future planning to address local business needs more effectively.​

The 2022 BRE Survey has closed. We are working to compile and codify the findings. Once we have the information, we will post it on this page.
