Reports and Surveys

in 2012, the Hartland Area Chamber of Commerce commissioned what is believed to be the first survey of Hartland’s businesses.  That survey and its reports were never accepted by the Chamber Board, as the Board decided that it did not wish to take on an activist role.  Reports regarding this initial survey were completed by the Committee (then separated from the Chamber) and are included:

• 2012 Business Friendly Hartland Committee Report
• 2012 Summary BFH Committee Report.

Hartland Township began a series of Surveys, conducted periodically.  For convenience, links to their survey reports are provided here:

• 2013 Hartland Survey of Residents
• 2014 Hartland Survey of Business
• 2015 Hartland Survey of Residents
• 2016 Hartland Survey of Businesses
• 2019 ResidentSurveySummary

NOTE: The Township has removed all surveys from 2013 through 2016 from their website – after declaring themselves “Business Ready and Business Friendly”.  In spite of the claims, NO SIGNIFICANT ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO IMPROVE HARTLAND’S REGULATORY CLIMATE.

Exclusions – It should be understood that two categories of businesses have been excluded from those surveyed;  Township officials explained that this occurred because surveys were sent only to businesses filing a Personal Property Tax (PPT) return.
