The Arvada Resiliency Taskforce (ART) is committed to fostering a thriving business environment in our community. To better understand how the partners who make up ART can enhance our support and engagement with businesses of all types, we invite you to participate in our anonymous Business Friendliness Survey. This survey, which should take approximately 10 minutes to complete, is designed for Arvada-based executive-level leaders with experience navigating regulatory, HR, and company growth challenges. Your insights will be valuable in identifying opportunities for improvement and ensuring that Arvada remains a supportive and dynamic place for businesses to grow and succeed. The results will be utilized by the supporting organizations to define our strategic plans and ensure we are supporting your business in the ways that matter most. The survey closes on September 20th at 5 pm. Thank you for participating and contributing to our community's resilience and prosperity!
