Mountain Lakes Chamber of Commerce Establishes Covid-19 Recovery Task Force
Mask Up Jackson County public health campaign
Jackson County, AL – Local leaders once again join forces to address what COVID-19 recovery looks like, county-wide. In light of the impact that a national pandemic has had on Jackson County, the group will determine steps to take as the county looks to move the local economy forward.
COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon, and our local leaders understand that. The ground breaking group met last week, making the first decision to initiate a joint marketing campaign built around the sentiment; Mask up Jackson Co., in partnership with Highlands Medical Center.
The apt decision was well timed, pairing well with Governor Ivey’s Mask up Mandate that starts at 5PM on 7/16/20.
“The Chamber sees daily the struggles our business and industry are experiencing as a result of this pandemic. It appears COVID-19 will be around for a while, so we have to come up with ways to open up our economy safely. This Task Force can help with that!”
Tanner Harbin of Harbin Automotive was chosen to chair the task force. Harbin previously served on the Alabama Small Business Commission, which provided recommendations to public officials regarding COVID-related issues.
“In these uncertain and tumultuous times, we hope to help guide the people and businesses in Jackson County to a clear path of recovery.”
