In an effort to help support local businesses, the Region of Durham will be conducting a Business Count as part of an annual project to gather employment statistics and build a stronger local economy.
The Business Count will take place from May through August; due to the ongoing pandemic, the Business Count this year will be conducted through a short online or phone survey.
Brian Bridgeman, Durham Region’s Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development, says COVID-19 has resulted in challenges for all businesses.
“The 2021 Business Count will allow us to gather data to better understand how we can support business recovery in Durham Region – allowing us to assist local businesses in reaching their goals, while also helping to build a stronger local economy,” he says.
