The Task Force was established this year as a direct result of the pandemic.
âThe Task Force was formed to look at the long-term recovery needs for the business community here in Hunterdon County,â said Chris Phelan, Chamber president said. âThis has been an unprecedented year with so many challenges from COVID 19, to the economic loss, that we know we needed to look at developing long-term strategies to help in the recovery through 2021.â
The Chamber Foundation has awarded six Small Business Recovery Grants through the Hunterdon Economic Recovery Fund.
The recipients of the first Small Business Recovery Grants are Chameleon Blue, Heartstrings, Beyond Bijoux, Roses In Your Hair, Balic of Clinton, and Rosemarieâs Cucina. The grant criteria focused on retail shops and restaurants with less than 20 employees and no chain affiliations.
