Highland County Small Businesses Offered Online Seminar on Economic Injury

The CARES Act tasks the Small Business Administration, also known as the SBA, with overseeing the distribution of millions of dollars in loans and grants to help small businesses survive the pandemic. It also provides additional funding for SBA's Resource Partners, such as Ohio State University South Centers Business Development Network, to provide advice and training to help small businesses respond to the unprecedented challenges in communities throughout the country. 

On Monday, April 6, 2020 at 9am via ZOOM, Melissa Carter of Ohio State University South Centers will provide information related to the SBA loans specifically the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program and the Paycheck Protection Program, as well as other funding sources. After the presentation, Carter will be joined by her colleagues to answer questions from participants. This call is open to any business in Highland County. There is no cost to participation but registration is required. To register, just click "reserve spot" on the event page hosted by The Highland Chamber of Commerce on Facebook and titled "Business Resources During Coronavirus with OSU South Centers." You will receive a message from the Highland County Chamber of Commerce with the call information. Participants can connect to the zoom meeting from their desktop or mobile phone, and have the opportunity to view the panelists or just call in.

Anyone with questions can reach Destiny Bryson via email at president@thehighlandchamber.com. 

"During this time, we understand there is a lot of uncertainty and an enormous amount of information circulating every media out. Both Tracy Evans of Grow Highland County, and myself with The Highland County Chamber of Commerce have played a part in distributing the latest updates and information. However, Melissa Carter at OSU South Centers can "put pen to paper" or should I say "text to screen" to really take these available opportunities to the next level." said Bryson, Executive Director of the The Highland County Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. 

While our offices are closed, both Grow and the Chamber are still working to provide our business community with the most accurate and easily accessible information possible. Check our Facebook pages often for useful information, and be sure to join "Highland Proud" and "Highland County Carry Out & Delivery Options" public groups supporting our Highland County Businesses.
