Updated! COVID-19 IMPACT

Western Connecticut

Recent events have impacted each of our lives in many ways. Local leaders are already working to restore calm and inject economic support. The extent of that funding and the future timing of strong local business and the creative economy is only possible if members of our community provide data accurately and efficiently so we may have a better understanding of the needs in Western Connecticut. This survey takes 3-minutes!

We thank you in advance!
