Economic Reopening Recommendations

The Georgia Chamber continues to work closely with state and federal elected leaders on COVID-19 response, reopening and long-term economic recovery efforts. Since the beginning of this crisis, our top priority has been the safety and health of all citizens as we have worked to provide Georgia's business community with guidance on safe operations, access to resources and best practices.

Regarding reopening of the economy and long-term recovery, the Chamber's focus is to:
1) assist businesses in prudent reopening practices that prioritize public health 2) launch a comprehensive Chamber Resiliency and Recovery initiative 3) support local chamber recovery efforts and 4) partner with the U.S. Chamber and Council of State Chambers (COSC) in a nationally coordinated reopening task force.
