Branson Seeks Citywide Input for Economic Development Priorities

Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at 12:00 AM

The Branson government wants input regarding economic development, according to a press release.

The full release is below:

(BRANSON, MO, August 13, 2024) — Survey postcards are landing this week in mailboxes across Branson as City leadership seeks community input on future economic development. Residents and businesses are being asked to help shape and provide input on Branson’s economic development priorities by participating in an online survey hosted by the City of Branson. This public outreach effort is part of a long-term strategic process to update the City’s economic development plan and better understand the current and future priorities of the community.

The mailers, sent within City limits only, are expected in mailboxes of homes and businesses beginning Wednesday, August 14. The mailers will include a link and a QR code, either of which will connect participants to the survey. The survey is estimated to take no more than 15 minutes to complete. The deadline for participation is Monday, September 9, 2024. 

“This community survey is an important opportunity to hear directly from Branson residents and businesses to help shape the future of our community’s development” said Cathy Stepp, Branson City Administrator. “The feedback we receive from this survey is critical in ensuring our actions at City Hall directly reflect the desired economic development needs and priorities of Branson’s residents and businesses.”

The Board of Aldermen hosted three special meetings earlier this year to review the City’s current economic development manual and to explore updated priorities and policies to foster increased economic development and growth in Branson.

All eligible participants are encouraged to participate and share their direct input as the City shapes it’s updated economic development priorities. For questions or assistance with completing the survey, please contact Mark Colussy, Strategic Initiatives Coordinator, at Mcolussy@bransonmo.gov or (417) 334-3345.

The above press release is from the Branson government.
