Important Business Survey – Please Read Through

FGCU’s Regional Economic Research Institute has been asked to conduct a two-part impact study of the coronavirus on Southwest Florida, and in order to complete this in the most effective and timely way, they need your help.  

Besides allowing them to assess the effects of the virus on our region over time, the survey will be an important part of applications from our area for state and federal relief efforts following this episode.  Providing assessments such as the survey results will enable authorities to be better prepared when these efforts get underway.

Please take this survey yourself and encourage everyone in your network to respond to this effort.
