LAKEPORT, Calif. — Business owners and managers in the city of Lakeport are encouraged to complete a Business Walk survey distributed in recent weeks.

Teams of city staff and volunteers have been conducting in-person site visits throughout Lakeport during the annual Business Walk. 

Access the online survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RCLZCN3. 

The city wants to hear about concerns or issues facing the business community.

The Business Walk program demonstrates the city’s commitment to supporting businesses while gaining information about challenges and barriers to their success.  

Findings from the visits are compiled and presented to council for information and any required action.

This year’s teams included representatives from city staff, Lakeport Police Department, Lakeport Economic Development Advisory Committee, Lake County Economic Development Corp., Lake County Chamber of Commerce, California Employment Development, the Clear Lake Environmental Research Center and Community Development Services.

Lakeport Economic Development Advisory Committee, or LEDAC, is an advocate for a strong and positive business community and serves as a conduit for communicating the goals, activities and progress of Lakeport’s economic and business programs.  

The all-volunteer group meets monthly on the second Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. in Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St. All meetings are open to the public.
