COVID-19 Business & Community Resources

As our valley adjusts to tackle coronavirus (COVID-19), the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce is committed to providing the resources and information necessary to address the needs of our business community during this unprecedented time.

In uncertain times like these, the Chamber is working to minimize the impacts to health, communities and our economy. Although, the coronavirus (COVID-19) has disrupted daily life for everyone across our region, we must remember that we are in this together. This is not the first challenging situation the Grand Valley region has faced, but when we come together there is nothing we cannot face.
