The initial results for the Riley County portion of the Regional Business Confidence Survey, which was conducted by the Flint Hills Regional Council in part as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, are now available.
About 59 percent of the 39 Riley County businesses that responded saw a decrease in revenue while the remainder reported normal or increased revenue.
According to Marissa Jones-Flaget, Flint Hills Regional Council recovery and resiliency planner and grant specialist, the remainder of the survey was a bit of a mixed bag.
“81 percent felt that they had the resources to bring employees back (safely),” Flaget-Jones said during a Manhattan Area Recovery Task Force meeting on Thursday. “That’s a little bit better than the region as a whole, but again, customer traffic and losing business were the top two concerns for businesses.”
