What we’re doing

Resources for stable businesses who want to minimize impact on staff and customers

Feeling helpless? Here are ways you can help our community and those in the hardest hit industries

 

What is the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on your business?
We are now well into what some have defined as our new reality. We're working with the City of Concord and Intown Concord to conduct an important follow-up survey to our initial survey to measure the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on the business community. Please take a moment to complete the new survey. Thank you for taking the time to help us measure COVID-19's continued local impact.
