Business District COVID Survey

Hennepin County has retained The Musicant Group to create a rapid response toolkit to support business districts and the small businesses within them navigate and survive COVID and our society's response to that.

As part of this, we want to know what challenges we should direct our attention and creativity to help you and small businesses the most. Please take this 5 question survey to let us know what you'd like us to focus on and share out to the broader community.
