Re-launching the Local Economy: The RELAUNCH Greater Lansing Task Force

As businesses in the Greater Lansing region work diligently to develop strategies for reopening safely and successfully, a comprehensive approach is crucial. The RELAUNCH Greater Lansing Task Force has come together to provide trusted leaders from business, government, healthcare, and education to guide this effort.

According to Carrie Rosingana, president & CEO of Capital Area Michigan Works!, there are two types of organizations right now: those that are currently trying to get back to work safely and navigate safety protocols and testing, and those that continue to work remotely and won’t be dealing with many of these protocols until after the first of the year. The RELAUNCH Greater Lansing website provides resources for both types of organizations.

The website features commonly asked questions and information about where people can get tested. It includes all the necessary information businesses must be aware of, including protecting employees by screening, creating workplace distancing, cleaning, and sanitation, and what to do when an employee might be sick with COVID-19.

As Tim Daman, president & CEO of Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce, notes, 'The successful relaunch of our local economy remains in the early stages, and the rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 crisis is challenging for organizations to keep up with.' The website is designed to be a one-stop experience for any organization looking for relevant information needed on any given day.

In these unprecedented times, it's essential to have access to the most up-to-date information to assist organizations as they continue to adjust to new realities brought on by the pandemic. The RELAUNCH Greater Lansing: Economic Rehabilitation Task Force has developed this website to provide just that. For more information, visit Relaunch Greater Lansing.
