Important Information For Businesses Being Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic
***UPDATED*** BUSINESS IMPACT SURVEY
While County Executive Matthew Ossenfort and our other local officials are leading us through the COVID-19 pandemic, the Business Development Center is focusing on what comes after the crisis. People will need to get back to work and that only happens if local businesses have the right tools to re-open as quickly as possible.
To ensure we in Montgomery County #ComeBackStronger, we’re asking local businesses of ALL SIZES should ACT NOW and complete our updated community survey. The results of the survey will help the county, state, and federal officials understand the specific needs of local employers, so they can provide the best assistance and make the most appropriate decisions on how to help.
