The site has links to more than 30 national, state, and local resources for assistance and guidance during this time. The site also connects to job listings from more than 30 employers who are hiring for a variety of jobs throughout the region.
Now open is the ONLY survey designed for all companies and all sectors in the Roanoke Region from the Alleghany Highlands to Roanoke Valley to Franklin County. It’s part of a collection of resources available to Roanoke Region businesses.

Establish a benchmark of where employment and economics are right now.
Quantify the economic downturn by sector.
Identify specific business concerns in the COVID-19 environment.
Establish communication between businesses and governments.
Help guide policy and advocacy on behalf of businesses.
Form action steps.
Please help the economic development community better understand the impacts of this crisis by completing the survey. It’s a first step toward recovery.
