WILMINGTON — “Our customers are not following proper CDC guidelines.”

“How can we enforce safety measures towards customers without losing business??”

“What are the exact steps to take if an employee becomes infected?”

“What I can expect from other businesses?”

These are some of the concerns and challenges recently voiced by businesses on the Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce’s recent “Reopening Survey.”

The chamber takes these concerns seriously for our entire business community, and will be hosting two upcoming meetings in our series with the Clinton County Health District on Tuesday, August 4 and Thursday, August 13.

These interactive virtual meetings will be a platform for businesses to express their concerns and ask questions directly to Health District representatives.

On Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 11:30 a.m. we will focus on customer/community-facing issues — for example, “How can we enforce customer safety measures?” This event is free and open to all businesses. Registration is required by 5 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 3 at https://bit.ly/3hPBn5n and you will receive the meeting link upon registration.

On Thursday, Aug. 13, at 8 a.m. we will focus on employee/business-facing issues — for example, “What do I do if an employee gets infected?”. This event is free and open to all businesses. Registration is required by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12 at https://bit.ly/31gdAFl and you will receive the meeting link upon registration.

Both meetings will be recorded and shared with businesses unable to attend.

If you cannot attend, but have questions that you would like us to ask for your business, please email [email protected] or contact Dessie Rogers at 937-728-7075.
