On Thursday, February 18, 2016, Sacramento County conducted its first business walk in the Rio Linda/Elverta area. Business walks are one of many initiatives throughout the County designed to promote business retention and expansion efforts.
Three partner organizations worked together to carry out the business walk: the County Board of Supervisor’s Office & Economic Development team; community representatives from the Rio Linda Chamber of Commerce; and the Rio Linda/Elverta Visions Committee.
The coverage area for the Rio Linda/Elverta Business Walk included the business corridor along M Street from Rio Linda Boulevard to Curved Bridge Road, and the intersection of Elkhorn Boulevard and Rio Linda Boulevard.
18 volunteers, in teams of three, visited businesses in the defined coverage area. A total of 43 businesses were visited, with 39 businesses providing answers to the survey questions.
Teams conducted a five-question survey over the course of a brief conversation with each business. Businesses were presented a small gift bag containing important County resources and contact information cards for each partner organization, as well.
