Meet Lisa Constantine,
Visitor Services Manager
How long have you worked for the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce?
I am starting my 5
th
year at the Cody Chamber.
Why do you love Cody Country?
I love Cody Country because of its people. It is a great place to raise a family, has incredible natural beauty, and great balance of activities and amenities, but the people who live and work here make Cody a very special place.
What is your favorite thing to do in Cody Country?
Camping or a summer drive is one of my favorite things to do in Cody. Just head in any direction the sun is shining — North Fork, Bighorns or Chief Joseph. Check out the wildlife and scenery, and enjoy some mountain time.
|
|
|
Name one thing everyone (residents and visitors) should do while in Cody Country?
Something everyone should do is celebrate the 4
th
of July in Cody. It is so much fun, and there is truly something for everyone. Cody really knows how to throw a party!

Data from The Impact of COVID-19 on Small Businesses Survey
Main Street America's new
report
highlighting the results of their nationwide survey of small businesses and the impact of COVID-19 indicates that small businesses in states and
communities across the country have been hit hard
. Approximately 3.5 million businesses are in danger of permanent closure over the next two months, and nearly 7.5 million are in danger of closing over the next five months as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Further, approximately 35.7 million Americans employed by small businesses may face unemployment.
|
|
|
Yet, we know that the impacts of COVID-19 are not felt evenly across the country. To better understand what is happening on the state and local level, they spent several days digging into the data at a more granular level.
Here is the Wyoming Report
. There is also a pair of interactive maps where you can access a summary of results for all states and communities where they received five or more completed surveys. View the full report
