CARMEL – The Putnam County Business Council Reopen Putnam Safely Task Force has submitted a 15-page report to the Governor’s Office and the Putnam County Executive’s Office.
In support of the local business community, the report offers insight into the critical needs of county businesses across 12 priority industries. It also offers recommendations as a way to assist state and local leaders with ongoing reemergence plans affecting the Putnam County economy.
“As the county’s business advocacy organization, we have engaged a Reopen Putnam Safely Task Force to assist in shepherding our members and the business community, at large, as they reopen or prepare to reopen according to their industry phase,” said Jennifer Maher, PCBC chairwoman. “In collaboration with the Business Council of Westchester, we have developed a concise report based on the reopening and financial needs of our businesses. The intent is to give voice to our business community at the highest level, so we are not overburdened, overlooked or under-funded during this slow recovery period.”
The public may access the report via the PCBC website. The Putnam County Business Council will continue to engage with the business community and communicate its needs to the state and county prior to Phase 3 and 4.
Businesses that wish to be heard regarding reopening issues, challenges, and needs are encouraged to attend the PCBC Town Hall via Zoom on Monday, June 22 at 2 p.m. Those interested in joining may register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIvc-igqD8jGdVYCDB-b1KZW1oIWd-r_HRq.
Local businesses may also connect with the Business Council via email, info@putnamcountybusinesscouncil.com, and by participating in other virtual events, which are posted to the site, as well as emailed to subscribers.
