Dear Business Owners,

The Niagara County Center for Economic Development is working in conjunction with the Restart Niagara Working Group and the Niagara County Legislature to assist businesses throughout Niagara County as they prepare to reopen, once Western New York meets the Regional COVID-19 Metrics enacted by New York State.

Check out the Business Reopening Guidelines page on our website, to learn more about the guidelines and safety protocols that businesses throughout Niagara County, in all industry sectors, need to implement in order to safely open, once the region has been given the green light to begin the phased reopening. These guidelines will help ensure the safety of your employees and customers.

Also, be sure to visit the Business Assistance and Important Links pages under the COVID-19 tab on our website. Here you will find detailed descriptions and links to funding programs, grants and resources that are available to assist you and your employees through this difficult time. It is important to note that there is still funding available in the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program for those companies still looking for assistance.

Bookmark our website and check back often. We will continue to add new information as it becomes available.
