Wisconsin Business Retention & Expansion Study
The purpose of this study is to create a confidential, comprehensive data profile on businesses in the community in order to develop a systematic approach to retention. Re-studies also serve as follow-up; indicating how economic changes have impacted the business community, determining current needs and plans, and verifying past situations have been corrected. These programs enable the community to develop targeted marketing and retention programs as well as identify those areas where expansion and retention efforts can be improved.
An overall objective of the business retention and expansion project is related to the process itself. By conducting the study, business executives are provided an opportunity to have their opinions listened to and passed directly on to municipal representatives in a highly confidential manner. It is a positive step for local government toward understanding the implications of their policies for this very important segment of the community. The underlying goal is to be responsive to business needs.
