As businesses across the Grand Strand slowly being to reopen, there remains concern from business leaders about unemployment benefits and how they will affect workforce readiness in the coming weeks.
To ensure our tourism businesses have clarity on how to reopen safely in the wake of this pandemic, we launched the Accelerate Myrtle Beach Recovery Task Force in collaboration with the Myrtle Beach Area Hospitality Association.
As you know, we are in the middle of an unprecedented and very difficult time in our community. Our hearts go out to those who have been impacted by this disease and those who have had to temporarily close or significantly alter business plans due to this global health crisis.
