The Town of Elizabethtown, in conjunction with Main Street America, is seeking input from current and potential small business owners to understand better the needs, challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurs and small businesses in the Elizabethtown Area.  

Businesses and potential business owners are asked to fill out an online survey at https://elizabethtownnc.org/small_business/ by Jan. 27, 2025. Results will be presented in February.

“Whether you’re a home-based business, e-commerce or have a physical location in the community, your voice matters,” Town of Elizabethtown Director of Communications and Marketing Terri Dennison said in a press release. Dennison added that only the aggregated results will be used to make recommendations and develop solutions and opportunities to develop and leverage resources.

The survey should take no more than eight to 10 minutes to complete.  No individual results will be shared and there is no personal data or identifiable information collected from this survey.
