Business Owners Asked to Take Survey

The City of Long Beach, Long Beach Chambers of Commerce and Sustainable Long Island, the non-profit organization that assisted the city in gathering community input for a new boardwalk, wrote the following letter to local businesses owners, which was posted on the city’s website Thursday:

Dear Long Beach Business Owners:

The City Manager’s Office and the Chamber of Commerce are working with Sustainable Long Island to assess the city’s business climate and what can be done to promote recovery and reinvestment in Long Beach.  
Members of Sustainable Long Island will be teaming up with the City and local community groups to promote a “Business Operation Survey,” a tool to measure the impact of Superstorm Sandy, outstanding needs, and other issues affecting businesses in Long Beach.

With a better sense of the conditions affecting businesses, the City can further advocate on behalf of Long Beach businesses. But in order to obtain this information, we need your assistance in taking this survey and getting the word out to other business owners to participate.

While we ask for personal information in the survey, we assure you that no individual business information will be made available to the public. We look forward to working with you and in helping to see your business grow in Long Beach.

Thank you.

• Jack Schnirman, City Manager of Long Beach
