'Bringing PA Back" initiative to help businesses safely reopen.
Gene Barr, the President and CEO of the Pennsylvania Chamber, said that as the Commonwealth works to respond to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chamber is committed to focusing on the next phase -- reopening businesses and determining what the economic recovery will look like. He said the Chamber "stands ready to work with elected officials, public health experts and employers on implementing a workable process to get back to business in a responsible way." The Chamber has been
a resource for Pennsylvania's business community
since the impact of the shutdown began.
According to Barr, the core focus of the "Bringing PA Back" program will be to provide employers critical information as they prepare to reopen. This includes guidance on various workplace readiness requirements and best practices related to reopening, as well as policy recommendations to help revive Pennsylvania’s economy. This information will all be housed on an interactive, user-friendly website.
To kickoff the “Bringing PA Back” initiative, the Chamber will host a
webinar on Wednesday, April 22 at 11 a.m.
to solicit feedback from business leaders across the state regarding specific economic, policy and resources needed in their communities. The webinar is free; more details can be found
