Greater Cayce West Columbia Chamber (New)

Partnership for Small Business Recovery

In response to the recent havoc thrust upon small businesses in our community by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Greater Chapin Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Irmo Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Cayce - West Columbia Chamber of Commerce are partnering on a task force called the Partnership for Small Business Recovery. The mission of the Partnership for Small Business Recovery is to ensure that the small business economy in our smaller Midlands communities not only survive through the COVID-19 crisis, but thrive as a result of it. This is an unprecedented time for our collective business communities. The Greater Chapin Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Irmo Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Cayce – West Columbia Chamber of Commerce are working closely with both our community leaders and business partners to communicate information and seek strategies to assist our businesses to minimize the long term impact of this pandemic.

The Partnership for Small Business Recovery has two surveys to help determine readiness and comfort level regarding local, state, and federal reopening phases from business owners and community members. We have also prepared information and resources to assist small businesses and the community. All this information will be available on our website this week, www.screcovers.org (As of this writing, the website is still being fine-tuned, but may be viewed).
Please share these surveys will fellow business owners and people that live in our communities. These two surveys will allow us to receive data from the local businesses while also gauging how the local community will react to more businesses opening.
