Survey shows a positive outlook

The annual small business survey by Thunder Bay Ventures shows a positive attitude for the local economy. Manager Royden Potvin says it appears to show we have turned the corner after the forest industry collapse.  He says we have transitioned into a service based economy.  Potvin says the survey shows that for the first time a majority of small business owners says the economy in the city is moving forward.  700 questionaires were sent out for the survey in May, and 115 were returned.
