Measuring Business Confidence in Our Region

The College of Business Administration (CoBA) at CSU San Marcos is launching an important new program and are requesting your input. CoBA plans to conduct a study twice a year to measure business confidence in our region. Members of the business community are surveyed and asked about the local and national economy, sales, profits and hiring expectations. The results are used to construct a Business Confidence Indix for the region. The survey is very short and takes most people about two to three minutes to complete.

As a thank you for participating in the survey, CoBA will hold a random drawing for four $50 Amazon gift cards for respondents. Complete the survey here.

Help Shape the Future of Our Community's Energy Supply

The Vista City Council will hold a public hearing to obtain views and input from residents on selecting a default power supply option from the Clean Energy Alliance that will go into effect in April 2024. The selection of a supplier will affect energy utility billing for all residents and businesses in the City of Vista. Learn more here.
