Perth County is currently conducting a Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) Project.
| What is Business Retention and Expansion? |
| Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) is the process of connecting with the existing business community to understand and respond to local needs. BR+E can have various formats including informal discussions with local businesses, corporate visitation and other forms of engagement with the business community. A structured BR+E project can help with understanding individual business needs and responding to community-level business priorities, challenges and opportunities. As the first phase of Perth County's BR+E project, the County is conducting a telephone survey during September and October of 2021. |
| Why is Business Retention and Expansion being undertaken now? |
| COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on businesses across Perth County. Understanding business priorities, needs and intentions will help Perth County in shaping the ongoing response to COVID-19. The project will also aim to better understand priorities for a community improvement plan that could provide funding to businesses across the county to assist with property or building improvements and more. |
| How can I participate as a business owner? |
| MDB Insight, an economic development and market research firm is conducting telephone surveys of a random sample of Perth County businesses using their Triage BR+E methodology. If you receive a call from MDB Insight, you are encouraged to respond. |
