Montezuma County Business Survey

Montezuma County Business Survey

The Montezuma Business Taskforce (MBT) is requesting your participation in a business survey to help us help you. We need data to go to our lawmakers, legislature, local governments and organizations and let them hear your voice. Your name or business will not be listed in any survey results and specific results will remain confidential. However, we will reach out to you with updates and information. All questions are optional to answer, but the more information we have, the better we can assess and help tell your story. Any questions, please contact Susan Lisak at (970)426-9902.
