Gilbert Office of Economic Development has launched the National Business Survey to secure valuable input and feedback on the priorities of Gilbert’s business community. The survey is conducted every two years to gauge the economic health and business needs in the Town and is designed to provide comprehensive feedback across six core indicators including: community amenities, business climate, employment opportunities and workforce support, workforce readiness, business growth and governance.

“We are guided by our community and use tools like the National Business Survey to ensure we are providing the services that benefit the greatest good in Gilbert,” said Economic Development Director Dan Henderson. “Past surveys have shared insights that we incorporated into our strategic planning and outreach efforts currently in place and helped us in the development of The CATALYST business resource center, launching this month in partnership with the Gilbert Chamber Foundation.”

The National Business Survey was developed by National Research Center at Polco. The survey captures opinions of Gilbert's overall economy. The results will show Gilbert’s strengths, areas of improvement, and what matters most to businesses. The Town will also be able to see how its performance compares to other communities across the country.
