2026 Business Readiness Survey
Local business owners are encouraged to complete the Shoreline Local Business Readiness Survey by March 31. This survey helps regional organizers better understand how businesses are preparing and what support may be most beneficial.
Participation is especially valuable for restaurants, retailers, hospitality operators, service providers, and corridor-based businesses looking to be proactive not reactive. The survey is also available in: Somali, Amharic, Korean, Chinese,

Businesses who complete the survey will be connected to targeted resources and free technical assistance based on their readiness needs.
