Recent Survey by Collin County Business Alliance (CCBA)
Recently CCBA conducted a survey where an overwhelming majority of area business leaders supported Collin County as a recommended business location. Survey distributed to attendees at this year’s CCBA State of the Business luncheon found that 94 percent of respondents were “extremely likely” or “likely” to recommend the county as a location for business relocation or expansion.
The survey also found that transportation was a major concern as nearly half of respondents (45 percent) listed traffic congestion or lack of public transit options as the most pressing challenges facing the Collin County workforce. Survey results showed that the majority of event attendees (82 percent) would be “very much in favor” or “in favor” of Collin College expanding its mission to offer 4-year degrees to meet area workforce development needs.
