Help Is Here!

By now, most of you have probably had time to assess your situations and develop plans to move forward with your business as our Counties and State opens back up. Although some things remain uncertain, we are optimistic that our area will return to and exceed pre-pandemic conditions.

I wanted to share with you just a few resources that may be helpful:

We have one local source for aid that came available. A member of our own community has pledged to help. We have created an application, due May 18, 2020, to help in the person deciding who will receive this benefit.

To apply, download and complete the application.

Also, Phil Geist of the SBDC is available for consulting via phone or email and able to help businesses manage their cash flow during the pandemic closure as well as plan for reopening. Anyone interested should contact Geist via the SBDC’s Administrative Secretary Becky Rapp at 352-622-8763 or her email at admin-sbdc.rapp@unf.edu

Please keep in touch and let me know if there is anything the Chamber can do to help you.
