The City of Flagstaff Economic Development Program is inviting two of our partners to present their efforts to City Council relative to COVID-19.
DESIRED OUTCOME:
This is an informational presentation without the usual tours which would have occurred on the Thursday following this Tuesday presentation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Flagstaff Economic Development Program works with several local and regional business and service providers. The Business Listening Tours bring businesses, regional economic developers, and Council together for greater mutual understanding. Under normal circumstances, every fifth Tuesday has been an opportunity for the Economic Development Staff to invite business representatives to share their experiences of locating, operating, and growing their businesses in Flagstaff. As humanity continues to adapt to highly contagious respiratory illnesses, this evening two of our partners will present their efforts and recent developments to assist businesses and individuals during the pandemic. This presentation, called Pandemic Partners, invites the Coconino County Economic Development and Health Services, and the Coconino County Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to present their efforts.
INFORMATION:
The Coconino County Economic Development and Environmental Health Offices will present their numerous efforts and new programs in response to COVID-19. Next, the Coconino County Small Business Development Center will present an overview of their operations, followed by the various programs that have been developed and deployed in response to COVID-19.
