With an ever-changing business climate and ongoing public health concerns, Santa Barbara County leaders gathered Friday for a State of the County address focused on the far-reaching economic impacts that COVID-19 has had on the community.
“Ten months into the pandemic, we’re riding another wave of uncertainty as everyone is concerned about the rise in COVID cases throughout our county,” Kristen Miller, president and CEO of the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, said in introducing the Zoom webcast. “We’re facing yet another downturn, but this time the chamber is more than ready to advocate and support procedures that protect our community’s health.”
