The council includes representatives from different regions of the state, key industries, and labor, and is focused on three main areas: business climate, workforce, and tools for growth. Its role is to develop practical recommendations for the near, medium, and long term in each of these areas. Council meetings began in January 2026 and will conclude in June 2026, when a final report of recommendations will be delivered. This statewide survey will be circulated widely and will remain open through March 20, 2026 so the council can consider this input as it develops its recommendations. As a note, all survey responses will be included in the public record. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. * Name (first and last) * Email address *What is your 5-digit zip code?
