Filling out the survey takes 5 minutes or less and respondents remain completely anonymous throughout the entire research process.  Business feedback is crucial to our research.  Please click below to learn more about the Regional Economic Indicators Forum (R.E.I.F.) and results of our previous surveys, which are completed each spring and fall.  Results of past research surveys are available at the REIF website linked below (bottom of page).
