Chamber Helps Local Businesses Stay and Grow in Marin
Joanne Webster

As part of our Economic Vitality Outreach Program, we recently completed over one hundred business retention and expansion interviews with business owners in San Rafael. The goal of the project was to collect information from the business owner to help identify any obstacles or common themes for businesses operating in the city and help build awareness of any issues that may impact economic vitality in San Rafael. With assistance from the Marin Economic Forum, the data was culminated in a report that we delivered to the City last week at a Business Issues Committee (BIC) meeting.
