Merrimack Valley Planning Commission is participating in a Small Business Coalition led by the Lawrence Partnership and made up of stakeholders from across the Merrimack Valley that serve the public and business community at large. The Small Business Coalition has formed in the wake of the Columbia Gas Disaster to share information and respond collectively to the business community. It has reemerged in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to collectively understand the various responses being developed for small businesses at the federal, state and local level, and strengthen our capacity to coordinate efforts.
In order to understand how small businesses are being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic a short survey has been put together to gather information about what is being impacted and what is needed in order to stay in business.
