Main Street Alliance - Vermont Small Business Reopening Survey |
|
Main Street Alliance-Vermont has launched a new “Small Business Road to Recovery Survey.” As vaccination rates go up and businesses from child care providers to restaurants are beginning to open their doors, MSA-VT wants to get a sense of how this reopening is affecting businesses. Questions focus on comfort levels for reopening, support for mask mandates, and other needs. The survey will help provide insight and feedback to the legislature as they finalize criteria and funding for the next round of economic recovery grants. |
