What to submit

Business owners are invited to share specific concerns about licensing, taxes and fees, compliance requirements, hiring, commercial safety, and access to government programs.

Submissions should be practical and local. The goal is to identify changes that would reduce friction while protecting public accountability.

How the information will be used

The office will use these examples to inform policy priorities, local advocacy, and future public updates. Personal information should not be included unless staff request it through a secure channel.
