Bob Duffy, president and CEO of the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce, who was recently tapped by Governor Andrew Cuomo to consult as a representative of the Finger Lakes Region on reopening after COVID-19 gave local businesses an update on Tuesday.
“My job is simply to ask questions, listen and be able to pass on information for the governor’s team and their decision on reopening,” Duffy told RochesterFirst.com.
At this point, it appears as though the economy will begin to reopen in mid-May on a region-by-region basis.
Suggested: If you are considering starting a small business, a limited liability corporation may be your best option. Learn everything you need to know about LLCs, their cost, formation process, and all of the added advantages.
“I would work on having a plan in place when that decision comes, whether that’s two weeks, four weeks or six weeks, I can’t speak to that. But as we constantly talk about our face masks, hand wash social distancing — be proactive,” Duffy said.
On Tuesday, Governor Cuomo gave additional guidance on how reopening the economy would be implemented in his daily press briefing.
