The COVID-19 crisis has affected nearly every facet of daily life. Business owners have been among the hardest hit.
Categories of businesses being determined non-essential, demands to rapidly change the way services are delivered, and a web of state and federal programs offering support have understandably left many with questions.
District 5 Supervisor Rob Brown, wants to ensure the most critical questions are answered, and business owners can continue to invest in the communities they serve, both now and when we emerge from the pandemic.
He invites community members to join the special virtual town hall this Thursday.
Those supporting Supervisor Brown in presenting this important meeting will include moderator Michelle Scully, deputy county administrative officer, who has a track record of successful leadership in a cross-section of Lake County private industries and service sectors.
The panel will likewise include Jeff and Andy Lucas of Community Development Services, which has been providing a variety of supports to local businesses for decades, including facilitating access to state and federal funding opportunities. Representatives from the financial services sector and others have likewise been invited.
“Every one of us is affected by the health and success of local businesses,” said Brown. “Business owners create jobs, and their activity drives revenue for those in the government and service sectors, as well. I hope as many people as possible will tune in to this meeting, to understand a little better what business leaders in our communities are facing. I consider it a privilege to be a part of the local business community, and am looking forward to connecting people with the information they need.”
