 DEADLINE: July 6, 2009

The Economic Vitality Corporation (EVC), a non-profit organization that provides economic development services and business resources throughout San Luis Obispo County, is launching its annual Business Survey. This is an ongoing effort to evaluate the sentiments of the county’s business community in order to provide the best business resources possible to our local communities.

Please complete this survey about your business to help evaluate the needs of our business community. It should take approximately five minutes to complete. The results will be very important.

The identity of those persons or companies responding to this survey will be kept strictly CONFIDENTIAL.

Last year, this survey received responses from 300 companies throughout the County, among various sectors. With such information, the EVC increases its knowledge about the needs of the business community, and provides better resources. The highlights from last year's survey are listed below.

Your participation is greatly appreciated and important to the health of our communities.

Thank you for participating in the 2009 EVC Annual Business Survey.
