Attachments: image001.png; image002.png; Silverton BR& E summary.docx; Thought you might enjoy seeing this. This is what I sent to Christy and Stacy. Now it is up to them to use the information. “Now you need your team to look at this summary and prioritize what they want to take on first. The overall opinion of the community as a place to do business and community to live in both scored 26% above average. In our recent Urban Renewal conversation, the question of what businesses should be attracted I think was answered by the survey. Some 21% had concerns about the proximity of Silverton to service providers. Now to dig a little deeper and find out what kind of service providers those are and try to attract them to the community. Good information.” Nick Harville Business Retention and Expansion Manager - Marion County, Oregon 626 High Street, Suite 200 Salem, Oregon 97301 503-837-1804 office – 503-930-4609 mobile “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
