Summit County Business Impact Survey- November 2021

This survey is being conducted by the Summit Prosperity Initiative, the economic development group of the Summit Chamber. All individual responses will be kept confidential. It should only take about 5-10 minutes to complete.

The purpose of this survey is to gauge how our businesses are faring as we rebuild from COVID restrictions, what impacts staffing issues are having on businesses and to track our recovery efforts. This will give us a progress report for October- December and help the community to better plan for the future.

If you have multiple locations, please answer on a consolidated basis within a business category. If you have multiple business types, please fill out a separate survey for each business category.

This survey will close December 7, 2021.
