She explained that the <br />committee's primary goal had been to conduct a business <br />survey, and they recently sent out 350 surveys to the <br />businesses in the area. To date they had received <br />approximately ~oo responses. She noted that the committee <br />met earlier that day and had some positive feedback to bring <br />to the Council. <br /> <br />The three committee members present outlined the goals and <br />priorities of the committee.
