Local businesses have been dealt a setback with the new guidelines to coping with the incoming wave of COVID-19. But, what's important is the realization that local businesses are still trying to provide their services to the community. While some of the businesses have been altered, there's still a bunch of local spots that are offering their business.

A message from Susan at Comcast Business:

First and Foremost: I sincerely hope that you and your loved ones are ok.

Due to the prolonged and unique situation currently effecting our country, I hope to be a helpful resource to assist in any way. I wanted to make you aware that  Business Class Internet is now available on a month to month basis for you and your employees having to work from home, this will allow them to work efficiently and effectively. Sharing a home network with other quarantined folks streaming or doing home schooling can impact business productivity due to the competition for bandwidth. We can offer you dedicated Business Internet service until you are back at your place of business. If you need to temporarily close your business, we can transfer services to your house instead of paying for services in a vacant building.
