Abacus Economic Development Survey - Pennsville NJ
Institute for Supply Management Leadership Training Workshop Survey

Abacus Economic Development Survey - Pennsville NJ

Purpose is to study the business climate and economic development needs of the Pennsville business community.

Methodology is to survey a statistically significant number of businesses in Pennsville operating in commercially-zoned areas in the existing and/or proposed Pennsville master plan.

End-state is a tabulated summary with representative narrative remarks to be posted on this site 1 March 2003.

Pennsville businesses not in a commercially-zoned area, e.g., home-based businesses, and businesses outside Pennsville Township are welcome to submit surveys but their reports will be tabulated separately and reported at a later date. Pennsville and non-Pennsville survey results will be analyzed to ascertain their meaningfulness and the viability of continuing the survey on an annual basis and/or expanding the survey to other areas of Salem County.
