All information is anonymous, so be sure to answer all of the questions. We want to prepare an accurate report, and we want to hear from everybody!
Tell folks you know that the survey is available on the Edgewood Chamber website, and on the Town of Edgewood Website under Economic Development.
We will also be forming focus groups, and doing interviews with leaders at the state, county and local level. Deadline for the survey information
has been extended to June 30.
After the data is gathered, we will prepare an Economic Impact Preparation Recommendation Report which will be used by our committee and leaders to help determine what’s next for Edgewood!
