Other: I am not reporting an issue but just providing general feedback about the business development aspects of Bloomington. The city should work to attract more eco-friendly businesses for personal services, such as a high-quality Aveda salon. Also, I believe that Bloomington would be a better place for adult working professionals if major area employers exceeded Cook Medical and Indiana University. Even amid and after the pandemic recovery, more area businesses should consider offering remote work opportunities to attract more talent to the Bloomington community. Also, Bloomington needs more flexible housing options (month to month rentals) that do not require leasing contracts. Perhaps the city should even consider attracting and implementing more quality and affordable extended stay hotel housing to accommodate professionals and students in transition.
Most tickets of this type should be closed within 2 days, although some cases may be longer. 0 days have already passed.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. We agree with your perspective and are actively working not only to diversify the employment base but also to provide more affordable housing options to attract a workforce. It will take a while given Bloomington's historic dependence on IU and tourism for its economy, but we're working on it! Thanks again, Alex
