The challenges you have all weathered these past few months are nothing short of monumental, and you have met these challenges with innovative ideas and solutions. Your City has also taken actions to support you through these incredibly difficult times, including temporary moratoriums on evictions and certain late fees, relaxing delivery hours, creating a process for expanding outdoor operations, and establishing the Small Business Assistance Grant Program. The City remains committed to finding ways to support our business community through these very trying times.
Although we hope all of our businesses will be able to endure and thrive again soon, it is a painful reality that some may ultimately need to close their doors permanently. A few weeks ago, our partners at the Economic Development Collaborative hosted and recorded a webinar focused on business closure and bankruptcy. The webinar also included a short discussion around landlord negotiations and tenant rights. For those businesses that may need to explore this option, this webinar may provide you with some valuable information. You can watch the recording
