Business Retention and Expansion in Garden City

Abstract

A survey sample of 105 business firms in Garden City was completed to find determinants of business retention and expansion of existing industries in Garden City.

These firms, drawn from sectors constituting the economic base (retail firms and service firms that were entirely local were not included), were surveyed to identify factors that influence the retention and expansion of existing industries in Garden City, to identify the potential of Garden City firms to expand within their community, to assist the establishment of local retention and expansion efforts, and to distinguish local issues that influence retention and expansion.
