2010 Shopper Survey
The Economic Development Committee of the Borough of Hawthorne and the Hawthorne Chamber of Commerce are distributing a Shopper Survey for area residents and business patrons to complete. "This is an opportunity for all residents to tell us what types of businesses and services they want to see in Hawthorne," said Mayor Richard Goldberg. " For this reason, it is essential for each resident and patron to complete this survey and return it to us."
The completed survey can be returned via email to hawthorne.edc@gmail.com. In addition, residents may obtain and complete the survey at the Public Library, Post Office and Municipal Building. Beginning September 3, 2010, the survey will be distributed at The Farmer's Market and Hawthorne Day and at other venues throughout the community.
Data collected from this survey will provide the Borough of Hawthorne with important information to promote the development of business and commerce in Hawthorne.
