In this unprecedented period of economic uncertainty, we anticipate that many businesses and organizations are looking for ways to respond to the effects of COVID-19. In this webcast, we will discuss strategies traditionally used by municipalities to provide resources to existing businesses, concerns that businesses are facing and new initiatives underway to assist businesses affected by the current economic downturn.
The webcast will touch on current regulatory and legislative developments that are critical to helping businesses successfully navigate COVID-19 and its economic impacts. We will also cover resources and initiatives currently underway that could influence future developments in other markets.
