Executive Business Climate Survey

The Executive Business Climate Survey Report summarizes findings from a survey of business owners and executives. The survey provides a business-perspective view of the local economy, with responses stemming from executives that operate in a broad range of industries across the county.  The survey first began in 2012 in Lee County, before expanding to Collier County in 2020 and Charlotte County in 2025.
