Business Walk - Assessing Community Business Health

Business Walks are part of a "best practice" strategy for business retention and expansion.  Business Walks help initiate contact with businesses in the community and act as the start of "an ongoing conversation" to help get businesses the resources they need to succeed.  This community-based program brings together economic development agencies and companies throughout the region.  The program helps companies identify barriers and then seek solutions for the survival and growth of local business.  In addition, they contribute to the sustainability and expansion of the region's economy.
