Chamber to aid local businesses

YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber has launched a program to help local businesses navigate the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The Emerge Initiative will provide direct help on a variety of topics and matters — from tax information to U.S Small Business Administration loans to understanding state and national orders — through the expertise of chamber staff, its board of directors and members.

“We are committed to providing our business community with the resources needed to EMERGE and recover from this crisis, successfully. There is a lot of information out there, and businesses may be confused or not know how to sort through it all. We can help with that and many other issues that may be occurring,” said chamber President and CEO Tom Humphries.

The primary areas in which the chamber may assist include finance, accounting, law, insurance, business, health care, government affairs and marketing.

“This is an unprecedented time, so it’s understandable that many businesses may need help navigating these uncharted waters,” said Ted Schmidt, regional president for PNC Bank and chamber board member. “This program will help local businesses stay strong, so they have a better chance of remaining viable throughout and long after this crisis.”

A list of teams and contact information is available at regionalchamber.com/emerge .
