Reopen Putnam Safely Task Force Submits List of Business Needs and Reopening Recommendations to Governor Cuomo and County Executive
Businesses Encouraged to Speak Up at June 22nd Virtual Town Hall
PUTNAM COUNTY, NY (June 11, 2020) — The Putnam County Business Council (PCBC) Reopen Putnam Safely Task Force today submitted a 15-page report to the Governor’s Office and the Putnam County Executive’s Office. In support of the local business community, the report offers insight into the critical needs of our businesses across 12 priority industries. Additionally, recommendations* have been offered as a way to assist our state and local leaders with ongoing reemergence plans affecting the Putnam County economy.
“As the county’s business advocacy organization, we have engaged a Reopen Putnam Safely Task Force to assist in shepherding our members and the business community, at large, as they reopen or prepare to reopen according to their industry phase,” said Jennifer Maher, PCBC Chairwoman. “In collaboration with the Business Council of Westchester, we have developed a concise report based on the reopening and financial needs of our businesses. The intent is to give voice to our business community at the highest level, so we are not overburdened, overlooked, or under-funded during this slow recovery period.”
*As protocols and management of the pandemic are constantly evolving based on new data and research, some of these recommendations may have already been modified in the NYS Guidelines.

You may also connect with the Business Council via email, info@putnamcountybusinesscouncil.com, and by participating in other virtual events, which are posted to the site, as well as emailed to subscribers.
