Census Benefits

This unique approach to solving the persistent problem of lack of good, local information represents a major collaboration between leading, national organizations to bring unprecedented information and intelligence to local areas and regions across the United States and Canada.

The potential impact in terms of national, regional and local economic and business development is very substantial.

Apart from the obvious benefits to the local community, the Census also provides significant, direct benefits to the business advocacy group selected to be the local, non-paying sponsor (primary sponsor):

It provides a stream of critical, world-class information that otherwise would be financially out of reach. It provides an unprecedented tool for effective, local development and execution through 20/20 vision and truly actionable information. The entire project is executed on behalf of the selected primary sponsor. As such, it significantly increases the primary sponsor's visibility and local relevance. It provides very significant direct and in-kind contributions to the selected primary sponsor. It provides extremely detailed information on member and non-member perceptions and needs of and attitudes towards the primary sponsor.

"No previous approach - government or private-has unearthed the wealth and depth of data…"

Jeff Finkle, President/ CEO of the International Economic Development Council

In short, a Business Census in the "intelligent" way of consistently and effectively winning the battle of creating and sustaining a better local business and socio-economic environment in an ever-changing and increasingly competitive world.
