City staff told the committee that the business retention report is close to completion, with a few interviews remaining and an online survey available for local businesses to complete.
Jacob said Eco Northwest will return on Sept. 30 to conduct focus-group sessions with Elmira High School students, the Chamber and small employers to review and validate the data. He asked committee members to help spread the survey and to participate in outreach.
Why this matters: the business retention report and accompanying focus groups will inform economic development priorities and identify challenges small employers face in Veneta, which in turn may shape future local programs or incentives.
