Survey Created To Help Businesses Express Needs

The Nantucket Island Center for Entrepreneurship (NICE) has developed a survey intended to help businesses that have expressed a lack of commercially permitted and equipped kitchen or maker facilities on the island, which they say is limiting their ability to grow.

The survey will focus on products or services in the food industry such as catering, food preparation for mobile units, packaged consumables for people or animals, meal services, and more. It will also focus on products that are hand-made or serviced locally such as furniture, electronics, jewelry, clothing/textiles, glass and ceramic housewares, and more.

“Many communities have launched initiatives to create shared commercial kitchen and workshop spaces to support the growth of their local entrepreneurs,” head of NICE Karen Macumber said. “Our first step in this process is to collect real data about the size and scope of our community’s need for such facilities, from which we can then begin to formulate short and long-term solutions.”

Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing to win one of four $250 certificates that can be used with the vendor of their choice for goods or services that will help them with their business.
