Take the Marina Business Retention and Expansion Survey
 
Please help community leaders and local development officials learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of the local economy and marina industry. This survey is especially critical in light of COVID-19, and we need at least 70 responses across Ohio. The first 50 survey respondents to the survey will be entered to win a Clean Marinas package worth over $150!
