One of the survey questions: why locate a business in Chester County, CCEDC's Mary Frances McGarrity says what called "quality of place" remains high on that list.

"Corporate, community, culture, open-space, preservation, all those things are key to what goes into 'Quality of Place'," she said.

This year's survey results said 92-percent believe the business climate in Chester County is improving or stable.

Location and access to markets remains a positive, and the negatives in the study: a lack of public transportation and traffic congestion.
