A recent survey is helping the City of Colwood better understand the needs and interests of local business owners.

Random businesses in Colwood were contacted and asked to provide feedback and insight on the local business community and help with the cityB次元官网网址檚 business development and attraction project.

Survey data will help the city turn emergency support protocols from its September 2020 economic recovery plan for businesses into long-term plans that encourage business growth and expansion. The data will also help determine which sectors best suit ColwoodB次元官网网址檚 businesses and what future economic developments should be made.
