The Martha’s Vineyard Commission invites all Island businesses, including sole proprietors, independent contractors and non-profits to participate in the MVC’s Covid-19 Business Survey, according to an announcement from the commission.

The survey asks whether businesses have access to federal CARES Act stimulus information, if the federal stimulus resources are effectively getting to the local business community and if the stimulus package is adequately meeting Island businesses' needs. The information will be used to advocate for additional resources to help now and in the coming months, according to the commission.

Business owners can take the survey online at mvcommission.org or surveymonkey.com/r/COVID-19BusinessSurveyMVC. Responses are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, May 15 and will be kept confidential, with a report on the survey findings posted on the commission website by the end of June, according to the announcement.
