Dear Chester County Business Leaders,

We need your help. Every year, invaluable feedback from business leaders like you helps us make the right choices for the future of Chester County’s economy. But this year we’re finding many of you haven’t gotten around yet to the county-wide, comprehensive business survey called Take the Pulse. Your input is critical so I’m urging you to complete the brief survey this week.

Developed as part of VISTA 2025 and in partnership with the County Commissioners, the county’s ten chambers of commerce, key business leaders, educators, and non-profit executives, the Take the Pulse business survey asks you to express your views on a range of issues, from attracting talent to affordable housing. Analysis of the results is expected to provide new insight on workforce needs, transportation investments and factors influencing Chester County’s “Quality of Place.” All Chester County business decision makers are invited to take the online survey, which is available here only for a short time.

Now in its third year, Take the Pulse is administered by the Chester County Economic Development Council (CCEDC) with survey design, data management and analysis provided by West Chester University’s School of Business. CCEDC and the Chester County Board of Commissioners expect to release the results of Take the Pulse in July, benchmarking data to that gathered in 2016 and 2017 and identifying initiatives needed to enhance the county’s economic well-being. The Take the Pulse business survey is a key component of VISTA2025, Chester County’s ten-year economic development strategy designed to strengthen the economic health of the county.
