EDC launches economic survey to assess business, workforce needs

Submitted by the San Juan County Economic Development Council

The EDC, a nonprofit organization, has launched a survey to assess business and workforce needs in San Juan County. Responses to the survey are confidential and will be anonymized, aggregated, and used to determine programs and resources intended to help the EDC understand the economic landscape of our region’s economic impacts.

Community insights are crucial to help the EDC understand the economic landscape of our region. Business owner, manager, or worker feedback will help the EDC to identify key challenges and opportunities facing our community. By participating in this survey, respondents will contribute directly to shaping initiatives aimed at addressing these issues.

Business owners and managers and workers are urged to respond to the survey as soon as possible here: https://sanjuansedc.org/edc-economic-survey. For more information, please email info@sanjuansedc.org.

The EDC thanks San Juan County, the Town of Friday Harbor, the Port of Friday Harbor and the Washington State Department of Commerce for their support of this survey.

The San Juan County Economic Development Council (EDC) strives to support small rural enterprises, conduct projects to stimulate new job creation, strengthen the economic base for working families, and support overall quality of life for islanders.
