COVID-19 Resources for Business Portal Launched

Blacksburg, VA – Onward New River Valley and its partnering organizations are working diligently to understand the short- and long-term impacts of COVID-19 on businesses in the NRV. As we begin to adapt to the new challenges our region and nation face, Onward NRV and its partners are here to do everything we can to support your company in this evolving business climate.

Today, we launched a new “COVID-19 Resources for Business” page on the Virginia’s New River Valley website. The page is designed to be an online portal for information and resources to help businesses in the NRV plan and respond to the impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The page will allow us to collect and compile resources in one central location as they become available.

If we or our partners can be of any assistance to you during these uncertain times, please let us know. For question or assistance, contact James Cabler, Director of Business Engagement, at james@onwardnrv.org or 540-267-0007.
