COVID-19 has reshaped the business landscape. Things are changing on an hour-to-hour, day-to-day basis. To help prepare for a full recovery, the City of Fredericksburg in partnership with the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce is conducting this business survey to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on business operations in the Fredericksburg region.

We would very much appreciate your response. It will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete the survey. Your responses are absolutely confidential. Responses will only be reported in aggregate.

If you need assistance, the City of Fredericksburg’s Department of Economic Development & Tourism will reach out to you personally if your contact information is provided.

The results will be used to inform local elected officials, economic development partners and agencies.

Thank you for your support!
