Business as (Un)usual: Greater Fort Myers Chamber website for businesses impacted by COVID-19

FORT MYERS, Fla. - EntSun -- The Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce has launched a new website at Resource.FortMyers.org, offering resources that will support the local business community in its response to the coronavirus, or COVID-19.

Offering unprecedented business resources for unprecedented times, the Chamber's "Business as (Un)usual" website serves as a hub for information and latest updates spanning the business, community, education, health, hospitality and service industries.

"The Chamber is receiving a significant amount of information to be shared with the community. Initially we added two pages to our website. However, we quickly learned that we needed a more efficient and effective way to organize the resources for all the audiences we serve. With the vision for a more robust portal, we collaborated with Boost Creative, a longtime partner who maintains the Chamber website," said Colleen DePasquale, president and CEO of the Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce. "The Chamber is including information from all businesses, not just Chamber members. We feel it is important to unite in challenging times and we hope we can help businesses throughout the community."
