“More information is being added daily to keep local businesses informed to aid in their recovery and help them return to normal operations,” the county said.
The county’s BusinessFirst program was created in 2001 for businesses in Montgomery, Greene, Preble, Darke and Miami counties. It offers a single-point of contact for business needs.
“We are a resilient community, but our businesses, employees and their families are going through challenging times,” the county said in a statement. “Our regional partners are committed at working together to help the community recovery.”
