BEDC Consumer Survey
Recruiting and attracting new businesses, alongside supporting the growth of existing ones, are vital factors in driving economic development. New businesses bring fresh investments, create jobs, and diversify the local economy, which enhances the overall economic resilience of the community. Meanwhile, helping existing businesses expand strengthens their foundation, increases their competitiveness, and keeps local dollars circulating within the community. Together, these efforts foster a thriving business environment that leads to sustainable economic growth and improved quality of life for residents.
Help Shape the Future of Brookings!
We want to hear from you! As we work to bring new retail and restaurant options to the Brookings area and expand the valued businesses already in our community, your input is invaluable. Please take a few minutes to complete our short survey and share your thoughts on the types of businesses you’d like to see and support in Brookings. Your feedback will play a key role in attracting new opportunities and helping our existing businesses thrive. Thank you for being a voice for Brookings’ growth, and making our home an even better place to live, work, and shop!
Who should complete the survey.
This survey is open to all Brookings County residents, whether you live inside or outside of city limits. We also encourage individuals who commute to Brookings for work or shopping, as well as college students, to share their input. Your diverse perspectives will help shape the future of retail and dining in our community.
How else to get involved.
Residents can get involved by attending community meetings and participating in focus groups to share ideas on local development. Volunteering with local business organizations also provides opportunities to contribute to the growth and vibrancy of Brookings. Supporting our community by shopping local directly contributes to the success of Brookings businesses. Be sure to follow the Brookings Economic Development Corporation on Facebook, where we’ll share the survey results and other updates in early 2025. Your ongoing involvement is essential in shaping the future of our vibrant community!
