The City of Barrie conducted an extensive Business & Employer Data Survey. The business & employer data collected will give better insight into the City’s economic landscape and will help the City make more informed decisions that better support our businesses and residents. This data will allow the City to better monitor existing industry classifications, business sectors, business longevity and employment trends.
Why is this survey important?
The survey is important as it provides the City of Barrie with comprehensive business data, including:
- business name;
- location;
- employment numbers (both full-time and part-time); and
- industry classifications.
By collecting this data year to year, the City will be able to:
- monitor industry trends and levels of employment;
- inform other City initiatives, such as a review of infrastructure and servicing requirements, and transit planning; and
- develop a business directory of all local businesses.
