The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis needs your input on current conditions in the construction sector and at your company.

The Federal Reserve partners with construction/trade groups in Minnesota, including CMBA, to distribute this survey twice a year (April & Nov). This survey is critical to their understanding of the sector, and they’re very interested to learn about recent activity and your outlook for the spring and summer construction season.

Please take this short survey to help the Fed better understand business conditions at your company and across the sector.  The deadline is Friday, April 26.

CMBA hopes more members will complete this brief, online survey.

Why respond? A couple of important reasons:

• It provides real-time information to Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari for FOMC meetings (where the Fed decides interest rates and other monetary policy).
• It provides real-time information to CMBA, and we share it with members like you.
• The Fed will report back results to CMBA as part of a future CMBA Government Affairs meeting
• Media also write about survey results, and we write about it on our website. So everyone is more informed.

All responses are anonymous. To maintain anonymity, please do not include any self-identifying information in comments. If you receive this survey from multiple partners, please respond only once.

Your input is greatly valued, and the Minneapolis Federal Reserve appreciates your time and insights on these important matters.

For questions or more information, please contact:  Steve Gottwalt, CMBA Government Affairs, steve@cmbaonline.org, 952-923-5265.

Thank you!
