Downriver Today

Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Nov. 1.

#SupportDownriver

With the possibility of additional regulations on businesses coming as we move into the winter months, it is absolutely critical that we STRONGLY support local enterprise. No excuses. The holiday shopping season is upon us, and we must shop local Downriver retail, restaurants and eateries, and other services that are owned and operated by local business people. This is for the survival of Downriver. By working together we will thrive.

On behalf of Downriver's job providers and workforce, the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber continues to urge our community to exercise wisdom and responsibility to protect our entire community, and to ensure that our local economy not only remains stable, but thrives. It is critical that our leaders continue to work closely with our business and overall community to understand their needs, and carry out an effective strategy to maintain economic activity for our local business community and workforce in a safe and responsible manner. Earlier this year, local businesses and job providers were forced to close, and many continue to face restricted operations. Now more than ever, small businesses and nonprofits need our help to avoid additional and damaging restrictions. The most effective and impactful solution to the ongoing crisis that many of our small businesses and local job providers are facing is the responsible American consumer. It's up to every single one of us to use our hard-earned resources to invest into our local economy, while also exercising the appropriate wisdom to protect yourself and others as we battle out of the ongoing pandemic. It's up to us to purchase the excellent products and reliable services that only our local businesses - Downriver's job providers and entrepreneurs - can provide. Together, we can and we will make it through these uncertain times. And it's going to take all of us, you and I, working together to make it happen. Now's our moment. Protect our community. Shop local. And, as one united Downriver region, we will save lives, businesses and jobs.
