RESOURCES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
As COVID-19 outbreak related challenges progress across the nation and in New York State, this website will continue to address the impacts to businesses, and particularly small businesses, in the City of Albany.
The actions being taken by the State of New York, the City of Albany, and public health authorities are necessary in mitigating the spread of the virus. Support smAlbany was formed to serve you in whatever way we can as our community is facing unprecedented challenges. Support smAlbany is a coalition of regional business support partners that are coordinating efforts to offer assistance and help employers stay informed and prepared in this rapidly-evolving situation.
Action to alleviate the economic impact on individuals and businesses is expected from federal and state governments in the coming weeks. The SupportsmAlbany team will continue to monitor these developments. We will share information on this website as it is available and you can follow information on social media with the hashtag #SupportsmAlbany.
Most importantly, it is critical to document business impacts as the situation is unfolding, both for insurance purposes and for potential future relief efforts by state and federal agencies. We are asking for businesses to fill out this survey and the information will be submitted to the Support smAlbany team. To contact Support smAlbany, if you cannot complete the web form, this team is happy to connect with you through email at Info@SupportsmAlbany.com. This information will be used to identify critical business needs that relate to support opportunities through federal, state and local government agencies.
