“This is a critical time for small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy, there is no secret on how tough it’s been for everyone under the stay at home guidance and shutdowns of nonessential businesses,” Camden County Freeholder Jonathan Young said. “We are starting to see the economic cratering being caused by COVID-19 and now is the time to get accurate and precise information out to principal business owners and the public about programs available to help them stay afloat during these incredibly tough times.”
The forum will be focused on business owners, but the general public is invited and encouraged to join the panel live Friday afternoon, as they work to answer questions. The stream will remain available on Camden County’s Facebook page immediately after the stream concludes for future viewing.
Participants will be responding to questions submitted via Facebook’s live chat function and a submission form available online. Anyone who would like to submit a question should complete the form at bit.ly/CCSmallBizTownHall.
