Your Greene County Chamber of Commerce continues to monitor developments as we move forward with reopening our economy. This includes working with and staying in touch with business owners to monitor how our economic sectors are performing as well as taking that feedback to our elected and government officials to help craft workable policies and guidelines for our businesses to operate under. We must all remain diligent and committed to limiting the spread of the virus. The Chamber strongly encourages everyone to continue to wear masks in public, remain six feet apart and regularly wash your hands. By keeping our infection numbers low, we keep our businesses open and successful. A large outbreak will likely devastate our economy, even if the government does not reenact shutdowns. For the health and safety of all Greene County inhabitants and for the sake of our business community we ask that everyone do their part as a good citizen and help to control the spread. Additionally, each business needs to remain vigilant in implementing its safety plan according to its industry guidelines and to enforce your safety plan with your patrons. These measures will ensure that our businesses can remain open. As we continue to navigate this new and ever-changing operating environment, please know that your Chamber is here for you and beside you. The Greene County Chamber of Commerce is working tirelessly on your behalf to help our leaders craft workable solutions and directives, and to get you the latest information to help you plan for your success. We are united as a business community to drive economic prosperity with one voice, one mission, for our local communities. We thank you for your support and encourage you to contact us if you need anything. Jeff Friedman President/Executive Director |
