A task force is in the works to help guide the recovery of Hamilton’s business community in the months ahead. City council has approved the creation of the Mayor’s Task Force on Economic Recovery.
Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger says the idea is to provide “guidance” on issues ranging from financing and re-establishing their customer base to staffing and supply chain disruptions, rather than having “individual businesses try to figure that out by themselves.” Eisenberger says personal protective equipment will be another big challenge for businesses as they get back up and running. “They’re likely all going to require protective devices, screens and a number of different practices to be able to manage their businesses,” Eisenberger said.
