#SupportCayuga
We want to do everything we can to be there for the Cayuga County business community during these unusual times.

We are collaborating with our partners the Auburn Downtown BID and the Cayuga County Convention & Visitor's Bureau on a campaign to spread the word to the community about how they can continue to support Cayuga County businesses. We will be using the trend #SupportCayuga in posts relating to this campaign. We invite everyone to use this trend in their posts relating to the support of our local economy.

We will also share updates from local businesses as we are able via our social media channels. If you want to be sure we see/share your update, please tag the Chamber ( @Chamber13021 on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) or CEDA ( @CayugaEDA on Facebook; @Cayuga_EDA on Twitter and Instagram).
