Action Swift Current conducts survey

Action Swift Current is midway through an online survey with small businesses and residents of the community as a follow-up to their initial survey.

Several years ago, Action Swift Current entered into an extensive Business Retention and Expansion program which surveyed over 100 businesses in the community. Since this time, many changes have occurred ranging from municipal policy to healthcare infrastructure. These changes have led to great progress and additionally, new challenges.

Action Swift Current feels it is time to "check-in" with businesses to ensure their work and the work of organizations represented at the table assists business where they need it most.

Keleah Herron, GM of Southwest REDA and executive member of Action Swift Current hopes all that receive the survey will take the time to submit it.

"The survey is going out to over 120 businesses. The survey is giving a voice to business through providing an opportunity to share feedback with those involved in organizations that do projects in economic development."

A new component of the project this year is the surveying of individuals in the community. Action Swift Current acknowledges that the changes to business, a thriving economy, and movement of people have created new opportunities for residents as well as new challenges in their everyday lives.

Businesses and individuals are asked to complete the survey no later than October 1.
