Town Launches COVID-19 Business Support Page to Assist Local Businesses

On May 20^th, 2021, the Town of Grimsby’s Economic Development Advisory Committee (GEDAC), in partnership with the Grimsby Chamber of Commerce, launched the Town’s first Business Retention & Expansion (BR&E) initiative with local businesses.

From initial responses from the BR&E survey, the project team heard local business concerns about needing access to resources to assist amidst COVID-19.

In response, a COVID-19 Business Support page, which can be found under the “Let’s Talk Business” tab on the Town’s website, has been launched to connect local businesses with valuable information regarding:

• Federal, Provincial & Municipal business grants
• Sourcing Personal Protective Equipment vendors
• Scheduling training & well-being workshops that focus on mental health in the workplace
• Regional and Provincial guidelines for businesses during COVID-19.

Your partnership and participation is critical as we move forward on this exciting initiative with our local business community. The BR&E initiative will help shape our community and economy by connecting with local businesses in a meaningful way.
