This survey seeks input from Eugene community members on methods and opportunities for retaining, expanding, and creating sustainable local businesses and jobs that benefit the entire community. The survey is part of the information gathering and public outreach strategy of Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy's Sustainable Business Initiative (SBI).

The success of the SBI depends on creative input from the general public. Specifically, we want to learn about your vision for the future of sustainable business and job development in Eugene and for how to best attain that vision. All responses will be kept strictly confidential and only aggregate results will be made available. The ideas and recommendations generated from this survey will be provided to the Task Force to help them craft their recommendations. Once completed in spring 2006, the results will be posted on the SBI website for public review.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to fill out this survey. If you only fill out one or two of the industry-specific components found in Section II, the survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
