What Will Shelby County’s Business Climate Be in 2016? There will be no shortage of predictions and projections on the national and state level with regard to a variety of business issues — but what do Shelby County business people think our own local 2016 business climate will look like? The Greater Shelby Chamber wants to give business owners and top managers the chance to voice their opinion — and help us let the local community know

what Shelby County’s 2016 business outlook will be! We hope you’ll take a few moments to complete our 2016 Business Climate Survey — developed by the Chamber’s Small Business Work Group — and provide important feedback on business issues affecting your company in 2016. All individual responses will be kept confidential, but the overall results will be released and shared

in composite during the Chamber’s 2016 Business Outlook Conference cohosted by the University of Montevallo. In addition, the information will also be shared with economic developers, elected officials and the media so we’ll all have a better idea of what business people like you think 2016 will hold for Shelby County. You can complete the survey two simple ways:

1) Go-online at www. shelbychamber.org and complete the survey there. You can access the survey by clicking on the “2016 Business Outlook Survey” rotator slide on the front page of the site, or 2) Request a copy of the survey from Payton Thomas, the Chamber’s Manager, Business Development & Support by contacting him at payton@shelbychamber.org or calling 663-4542, ext. 105
