Pasadena Chamber of Commerce to study local economy

After the study is completed in December we may have a better idea of how seriously the national financial crisis is affecting local businesses. From the chamber's press release:

USC students John Costa, Alex Fairman, Betty Sapnar, Benedikt Voller and Philip Otto are working with the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce to formulate questions and design a mail-in and online mechanism to gain input from Pasadena businesses

The survey is intended to gauge economic conditions, learn about challenges facing local business and discover how the Chamber can be more effective in supporting our economic growth and development.
