Federal, state, county and city leaders join weekly forum offering resources for local business and plans for re-opening.

Resources for dealing with the COVID-19 pandemics’s impact on Chino Valley’s 400-plus businesses and hopes for reopening the local economy are the central focus of a weekly open webinar sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.

Welborn said the webinar is designed to provide vital information specific to the Chino Valley.
