What does “Safer at Home” look like for your business?

SMP_CP_BusinessRountable_20200529

Are masks required for businesses to reopen? What does social distancing look like in a retail establishment? What business support is available?

Join us Thursday, June 11, from 2-3 p.m. for a Business Roundtable discussion with the Tri-County Health Department and get your questions answered about doing business as COVID-19 restrictions ease.

We’ll start with a short presentation on the public health order and then open the call for your questions. At the time of the event join by calling 855-436-3656 or join online at Arapahoegov.com/TownHall.

This program is funded by the Arapahoe County CARES program in partnership with the Arapahoe/Douglas Workforce Board—Business Recovery Task Force.
