Business Emergency Recovery Team (BERT)
Business owner resources include information about how to navigate the financial and legal ramifications of COVID-19. Work in Grand has also crafted a business assistance series for small business owners to learn more about programs designed to assist during the pandemic. This includes webinars, instructional videos, and business counseling. Resources for employees impacted by COVID-19 are provided as well. This includes information about employee rights, financial assistance, and community-based organizations.
Grand County is committed to assisting local businesses to navigate COVID-19 related closures and economic impacts. Partners include Grand County Economic Development, Grand County Colorado Tourism Board, all Town Municipalities and Chambers of Commerce in Winter Park & Fraser, Granby, Grand Lake, Hot Sulphur Springs, and Kremmling. In addition to providing coordinated and comprehensive information via email, the “Work in Grand” website serves as a centralized location for Grand County business resources. (www.workingrand.com)
Healthy Grand County
If you are wondering where to find resources to supplement lost income because of COVID-19, you can find them on the “Healthy Grand County” website. Healthy Grand County is the result of a community-wide strategic plan for Mental Health; Maternal, Infant and Child Health (MICH); and Health Information and Awareness. The need for greater awareness of existing services in Grand County and the ability for residents and providers to easily find those services is a top priority. (www.HealthyGrandCounty.org)
The website is maintained by Grand County Rural Health Network, but many healthcare providers throughout the county contribute to it. Together, they have compiled a list of resources for everyone in our community experiencing immediate and long-term needs (English and Spanish) as well as a Local Healthcare Provider Directory. Additionally, you can find links to Grand County Emergency Response Resource Guide Summary (in English and Spanish) and a list of Grand County Businesses’ Operating Status.
Grand County Mask Drive
If you are willing and able to make and donate cloth face masks for Grand County community members in need, please drop them off at any of the following locations: Safeway in Fraser, City Market in Granby, Mountain Food Market in Grand Lake, Sheriff’ s Office Foyer in HSS, and Kremmling Mercantile in Kremmling. Place new, unused masks in the plastic tubs attached to the large COVID-19 poster boards. Pattern use does not need to be consistent, but please make masks from NEW fabric only, not used garments, paper or plastic. Our team will clean & sterilize the masks and distribute them locally.
