Completed Surveys and Results

Housing Study

In an effort to help residents attain affordable housing, City Administration worked with a consultant to perform a housing study that assess current needs and created a strategy to accomplish this task. Council identified housing as a priority in the 2017 to 2021 Strategic Focus Areas and approved the study in the 2018 budget. A steering committee of various housing organizations was created to work with City staff and the consultant to achieve this goal.

Business Retention and Expansion Project

The Brooks Region's economic development team partnered with Community Futures Entre-Corp and the Brooks & District Chamber of Commerce in completing a Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) survey. In 2018, we focused specifically on the retail and food & beverage sector.

The first phase of the BRE survey focused on resident feedback and the second phase focused on business feedback. Our team collected 420 completed surveys from residents and 51 business surveys/interviews in the second phase. These interviews helped us identify, among other things, the business needs, concerns and opportunities in the region.
