THOMASVILLE — The Thomasville-Thomas County and Albany Area Chambers of Commerce and Locate South Georgia have partnered to collect information through a series of surveys regarding the extent to which the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has affected local and regional business operations. The online survey opens today and closes April 28. 

“It is imperative that the Thomasville-Thomas County business community take the time to complete the impact survey,” said Andrea Collins, Thomasville-Thomas County Chamber of Commerce executive director. “The data collected will be critical in guiding local, state and federal leaders with policy decisions to assist short and long term economic recovery.”

The partnership brings together chambers of commerce and other economic development organizations throughout Southwest Georgia.

“We created Locate South Georgia to better leverage the assets of the region,” said Jason Dunn, executive director of the Fitzgerald and Ben Hill County Development Authority and chairman of Locate South Georgia, an economic development collaborative of communities throughout the region. “By partnering with the Region 10 Area Chambers on this impact survey, we can better serve our business communities and support the overall regional economy.”

The survey, which can be accessed online at bit.ly/3cb8Rbs is to businesses in all industries, including agriculture. It has 20 questions and is expected to take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
