ERC Survey: Find Out How Your Business is Doing Relative to Others! |
|
The Downtown Association of Santa Cruz has partnered with the Santa Cruz Economic Recovery Council (ERC) and Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce to find out how our business community is facing the ongoing pandemic. If you haven't yet, please take the survey before it closes on February 12th! Sign up to get the results and find out how you are faring relative to other businesses of your size, in your industry, right here in Santa Cruz!
The ERC survey seeks your input on the economic, health and safety impacts your business, organization, employees, and customers have experienced since the outbreak of COVID-19, to help both you and the ERC gain a better understanding of our community’s real-life circumstances, and what the business and non-profit communities need from the public and private sectors.
We will aggregate the responses and share a report on the health of our local economy. You can choose to enter your information anonymously if you prefer. Or, sign-up to receive the survey results directly!
