October 6, 2003 Press Release: Extensive Survey of Island Busine

Martha’s Vineyard, MA - The Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce and the Martha's Vineyard Commission, have joined forces to carry out the most extensive business survey ever undertaken of Island businesses. The aim of the Vineyard 2003 Business Survey is to get a clear picture of the operations, concerns and changing needs of the Vineyard’s growing business community – year-round and seasonal, visitor-based or not – in order to improve transportation, economic development, planning, and services on the Island. The Chamber of Commerce and the Commission invite every Island business to fill out and return the survey form. It is strictly confidential and will be tabulated by an independent organization. No business will be individually identified.
