The COVID-19 pandemic has been a difficult time for small businesses, especially in Fairfield, CT. With restrictions tighter than ever in the region, many businesses struggled to stay open, but Hemlock Hardware’s Scott Pesavento did everything he could to support employees and the local community of Fairfield.
Small businesses are ready to get back to work. After months of shutdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic, communities across the country are taking measured steps toward reopening. For small businesses, that means getting their teams back to work in the safest ways possible. But for one small business, it’s about getting the entire community back to work.
This year’s America’s Main Streets contest was unlike any other. During the height of the coronavirus pandemic, support for small businesses and downtown districts soared, as a record-breaking 1.5 million total votes were cast throughout the competition.
In a typical year, small businesses can generally count on steady foot traffic and busy summers. But this is no typical year.
Main Street is quieter these days, but not for lack of enthusiasm. Shops and restaurants may remain closed for the duration of the coronavirus outbreak, but support for Main Street businesses is surging in Washington and around the country.
As you navigate the unprecedented challenges created by the coronavirus outbreak, take advantage of the support that’s available for your business.
