Small Business Development Poll Results
SUMMARY:
As stated in the 2020 Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) four-point action plan, the FPRA seeks to re-set the economic base through supporting the development and growth of local businesses, entrepreneurs and small businesses within the FPRA area.

The purpose of the poll is to determine the current state of small businesses and to identify ways in which the FPRA can effectively support their growth and development. Staff is providing recommendations based on the results for the FPRA Board's consideration as it relates to the actions that can be taken to address the feedback that was received.
