Survey on Central Business District

Click here to take a brief survey

This month Swedesboro area residents and business owners will be invited to give their input about revitalization efforts for the Center Business District (CBD) by taking a survey. In conjunction with the Swedesboro Economic Development Committee, the survey will be handled by Strategic Advisory Group (SAG). SAG was recently engaged to provide research, analytical assessments, and strategic planning services to the Borough of Swedesboro through a grant from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission.

Swedesboro’s CBD has experienced considerable improvement in the past few years via the collective efforts of its volunteer economic development staff. However, that staff and other civic leaders desire to understand the opportunities that could exist for further enhancing the CBD and the overall destination appeal of Swedesboro. Therefore, SAG was invited to assist Swedesboro and its partners in assessing and outlining a plan to achieve these goals.

To that end, SAG will be working with Swedesboro to complete this study as well as to encourage and gather direct input from the community.
