MORE NEWS OCTOBER 2020
EDGE Economic Health: Please Reply
We continue to monitor the district's economic health in a variety of ways, including assessing new development proposals, and every quarter, gathering data on public and private investments, new or closing businesses, total number of jobs, business diversity, commercial rents, vacancies, and more. But we're also continuing to track the challenges our businesses are facing during the pandemic, and what they need for full recovery. We can then use the data to look for new ways to help and keep the community strong.

To that end, as one of the 200+ businesses in the district, you can help us greatly by taking a few seconds to send us your update on how many FT and how many PT employees you currently have, and anything you'd like to share about your current challenges and needs. Please email your input to us at info@edgedistrict.org (or text 727-421-8935 and include your name & business). THANK YOU!
