BACK-TO-BUSINESS TOOLKIT

As we move closer to reopening McDowell County, businesses will have questions. Marion Business Association and the Chamber have partnered to create the Back to Business Toolkit. Included you'll find:Back to Business Toolkit

  • reopen business checklist
  • a data-driven approach for informing NC's reopen
  • responsible re-entry plan--what does that look like
