“Economic Recovery after COVID-19”- ProjectRebound Steering Committee, Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce
The Project Rebound Blueprint report, released on June 25, 2020, pulls together initial input from more than 300 local participants. It maps out action steps toward economic recovery in our area, and it's meant as a starting point for conversation and collaboration. The need to rebuild consumer, business and workforce confidence was an important theme of local conversations. Participants identified health & safety concerns, an uncertain business environment, and confusion over guidelines as some of the confidence barriers to economic recovery. To build a truly inclusive recovery, this conversation needs to expand beyond the initial group of participants from the business community. The panelists will share with the HR community the work that is being done in and around Charlottesville to recover from the economic effects of COVID-19.
