Ohio MEP COVID-19 Business Assessment

The Ohio Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) has been awarded special funding to assess the effects of COVID-19 on the manufacturers across the State.  This survey is designed to gather your key responses to begin the assessment process.  It is estimated to take less than 15 minutes to complete.

At any time you are going through the survey, you may reach out to your local MEP or feel free to contact me directly.

Thank you in advance for your participation!
