The Haywood Chamber of Commerce, Haywood Economic Development, Haywood Advancement Foundation and Haywood County Government have all teamed together and formed #HaywoodStrong #HaywoodRecovery fund. This fund will be established through private donations and contributions.
The Haywood Chamber of Commerce continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation and working diligently to communicate the information to you as quickly as possible through our various means of communication. Links to join our email list and follow us on social media are listed below.
It is our goal to provide you with all the tools and resources you need or will need to continue to operate your business during and after the current situation. Please help us by completing our simple survey. The responses you provide will help us promote, and plan for recovery later. This information will be shared with our county leaders as well. We will continue to release periodic surveys as needed.
Thank you for your diligence in #flatteningthecurve We are #HaywoodStrong
