Minto Means Business: Business Retention & Expansion
Minto Means Business is a local initiative dedicated to strengthening and supporting the businesses that drive our community. Through direct outreach, one-on-one conversations, and data-driven planning, we’re working to better understand the needs of our business community and identify opportunities for growth across Clifford, Harriston, Palmerston, and Minto Township. Whether you're a long-standing business or just getting started, this project is about building a stronger Minto together.
Business Retention & Expansion Project
The Town of Minto is committed to supporting a strong and resilient local economy, and that starts with listening to and learning from the businesses that already call Minto home. Minto Means Business is a new initiative focused on connecting with business owners, understanding their needs, and helping shape the future of economic development in our community.
Whether you’ve been in business for decades or are just getting started, we’re here to support your success - because in Minto, business matters.
We’re currently rolling out this project, starting with scheduling meetings with business owners across Clifford, Harriston, Palmerston, and Minto Township.

Survey Details
Thank you for your interest in our Business Retention and Expansion survey. This process is a key step in building an effective partnership between local businesses and the community.
There are two rules we have for this survey:
- The “Skip It” Rule – If there is a question that you can’t or don’t want to answer, we can skip it. There is no need to explain your reasons; just let us know.
- Confidentiality – All information you provide is confidential. Subject to freedom of information legislation, all information you provide will be kept confidential. All interviewers and individuals involved in the project are committed to this principle. All the responses from businesses will be summarized as percentages or averages in the community report, guaranteeing anonymity. The Leadership Team will respond to urgent issues and provide information or assistance as requested on the survey. Based on the analysis of the survey results, actions will be developed and implemented to support the growth of existing businesses and the economy.
More details will come on the following topics:
- Project updates and key findings
- Resources for business owners and entrepreneurs
