“This is a crisis.”
Back in April 2020, that’s how we summed up an hour-long webinar analyzing COVID-19’s impact on York County. During the webinar, we discussed York County Economic Alliance’s recently-completed report that predicted 18-30% of our county’s small businesses were at risk of permanent closure. We outlined the trickle-down effect of childcare centers closing or reducing capacity and the impact it would have on working parents trying to maintain employment in an increasingly perilous jobs market. We also warned that if federal relief programs were not administered wisely then vulnerable populations particularly people living at or near the poverty level and historically-disadvantaged businesses and communities would face disproportionate hardships.
