Community Survey

The Adams County Commissioners, the Adams County Economic Development Department (ADECD), and the Adams County Chamber of Commerce (ACCC) are planning programming for the new business and training center (old IGA building). This survey will help determine business and community needs. We need your input to provide the best education, training and services for our community. This survey was made possible by a donation by the Adams County Community Foundation (ACCF) and the Adams County Chamber of Commerce.
