Saving Our Business Communities Requires Immediate Action

We can't wait for some grand plan to emerge. Every community needs to take actions to help their businesses survive.

I have always called business continuity planning, "job continuity planning." For every community across the United States, there is a desperate need to take quick action to help businesses survive COVID-19. Otherwise jobs and the economic welfare of towns of all sizes is going to be in jeopardy. See my op-ed in the current edition of the Puget Sound Business Journal, Opinion: We can't wait for a grand plan to save our economy.

Speed is of the essence!
