What a whirlwind for our community, the state, the country and the world in 2020. As a Chamber, our goal has been to support the city, the community, and local businesses to ensure economic development within the Grand Ledge Public School District. In the past, we have done this by hosting events in the community as well as providing resources to businesses and connecting them with potential customers.
Since March we have had to stop all community events and the Chamber has been focusing on helping businesses just survive. We are so thankful for the support we have in the community from our members that have enable US to stay afloat and provide these services to local businesses.
In the past few months we have:
- helped connect businesses with financial resources
- referred businesses to safety protocols
- interviewed local citizens on why they love Grand Ledge
- interviewed businesses about their programs
- sold T-shirts online to support local businesses. Click here to purchase one!
- educated ourselves on protocols and updated mandates
- worked in conjunction with local community partners to ensure we are maximizing our relationships
- stayed on top of executive orders
- been a resource for small business relief Click here for a list of resources!
