Vernon County businesses: We want your input!

The Community Development Department is gathering feedback from businesses in our community through a short survey.

We’re looking to better understand:

- How aware businesses are of available resources
- What challenges and needs businesses are facing
- What kinds of support would be most valuable
- How a potential new revolving loan fund could best serve local businesses

Have a few minutes? Take the survey and help us understand what our business community needs.

What does your business need to thrive?

We want to hear from you.

The Community Development Department is conducting a short survey of local businesses to learn more about what’s working, where there are gaps, and what kinds of resources would be most helpful to businesses in our community.

We’re also exploring the creation of a new revolving loan fund and want local businesses to help inform how that program could be designed.

Share your feedback by August 25th here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/AHy3m8PiAE
