Mayor’s Covid-19 Small Business Task Force
Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young has established a COVID-19 Small Business Task Force, a public-private partnership, which is supported by the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC). The purpose of this initiative is to provide assistance to small businesses with resources and guidelines to help businesses reopen once they are able to without compromising public health. This task force is comprised mostly of stakeholders participating in Baltimore Together, which is an initiative to develop a comprehensive economic development strategy for Baltimore City and led by BDC. Baltimore Together is shaped by a wide range of stakeholders focused on coordinating and leveraging resources to support a common vision of inclusive economic growth, with specific goals, actions and metrics, which now includes challenges businesses are facing and will face as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
Meetings occur bi-weekly on Thursdays at 11:00 am until further notice
