Beginning the week of August 12, the Moab Area Economic Development office will be conducting a survey regarding spending habits and preferences of Moab residents. The aim is to provide local business owners with information they can use to better serve their customers. Local households will be randomly selected to receive a survey, which is a few pages in length and takes from five to ten minutes to complete. We will be dropping the surveys off at many homes in Moab and Castle Valley, returning the next day to pick them up. This survey is part of an overall effort by the Moab Area Economic Development office to improve the commercial life of our community and make it more responsive to our needs as business owners, employees, and consumers. Please help us by taking a few minutes to complete the survey and return it to us. And thank you very much for your consideration. Moab Area Economic Development 259-134- 8 |
