Chamblee Launches Economic Development Engine

Interactive tool display essential market intelligence

Tracking down valuable information about the local economy, customers, competition and more just got easier for businesses in Chamblee. Today, Chamblee’s Department of Community and Economic Development, in partnership with LocalIntel, launched an economic development microsite, Chamblee Business Analytics: https://chambleega.ecdev.org/

The interactive tools display essential market intelligence for entrepreneurs and existing businesses and helps them ask the right questions, analyze data correctly and make better business decisions. The site is primarily intended for small to medium sized businesses who previously did not have the resources or experience to do their own market and location research, though businesses of all sizes and types will find it useful. Entrepreneurs now can discover their industries’ primary customers, learn how to research their competition, identify industry trends, uncover future business opportunities and more.

“Data is only useful if it’s easily accessible,” said Catherine Lee, Chamblee Community and Economic Development Director. “That’s why I’m so excited about this site. With an approachable and engaging interface, entrepreneurs now have access to volumes of city, county and state data that can help business owners make informed decisions where and how they do business in Chamblee.”
