Forty to 80% of new jobs are created by existing firms , rather than by attracting new firms to a community. Keeping an existing business is often easier than recruiting new firms. Our retention & expansion program helps community leaders and communities work together to identify barriers local businesses face as they try to survive and grow. With the help of community surveys from small businesses, we analyzes the results and the reports provide valuable information and ideas to invigorate the local economy. Our reports don't sit on a shelf; because the retention and expansion strengthens community ties, and the ideas turn to action.

The City of Moraine is a proud member of the regional BusinessFirst! resource network. Our staff meets with hundreds of companies every year to provide information about these valuable resources.
