Small Business Reopening Guide

Reopening with Care
Reopening recommendations and guidelines

The way we live and work is changing, and some of the new ways that we interact with each other will become routine. At the same time, many of our pre-COVID-19 work habits will be reinforced and will continue to shape how we do business.

The level of uncertainty in the economy is at an all-time high and the recovery is difficult to predict. Although there has been no single policy or proposed response, individual businesses, states, and regions have been taking steps to help their citizens and businesses through this trying period.

We're here to help. Together with the listed community and business support groups from across the state, we have assembled information to assist with a variety of questions you'll have when you're ready to reopen for business.
