  • COVID-19 Business Impact Survey STILL OPEN - with an Anonymous Option
    • As our state and community begin constructing a plan to reopen, the City of Cape Canaveral looks towards building an effective strategy for recovery. To do that, we must identify what areas were impacted the most, and how. All members of the Cape Canaveral Business Community, large and small, are encouraged to complete the Cape Canaveral COVID-19 Business Impact Survey to help us develop an inclusive plan for economic recovery. Because collecting this information is critical to the City’s overall recovery process, businesses have the option to provide their feedback anonymously. This survey will be open for responses until Sunday, May 3. Respond now to ensure that the impacts experienced by your business are considered in the community’s recovery plan.
