Armstrong County COVID-19 Economic Recovery Survey

To all Armstrong County businesses and non-profit organizations:

With the initial round of State and Federal programs deployed and then subsequently closed due to the exhaustion of funds, we are gathering information to provide to our elected officials and policy makers as they consider next steps. Your responses are incredibly important and we ask that you please take a few minutes to complete this survey. Thank you, and stay safe.
