The City of Peoria has launched a new task force with the intent of helping local restaurants weather the COVID-19 storm.
The city has partnered with the Peoria Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Development Council and ASU-Peoria Forward to promote local restaurants and their services to local residents.
In an initial step, the Peoria Economic Development Services Department is creating four-foot banners for participating businesses. The banners alert those passing by the businesses that they have either delivery or pickup service available.
“Our incredible partnerships with ASU, SBDC, and the Peoria Chamber of Commerce are serving as important emergency conduits for our business community right now,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said in a statement.
A Google doc sign up option has been created for business owners who are interested in receiving a banner.
“In times of emergency, it’s important to know who you can count on, and we are not disappointed with the company we keep. Our economic partners did not hesitate to jump in with hand and heart to assist Peoria’s local business community as they strive to weather this difficult time,” Carlat said.
