The Greater Utica Chamber Of Commerce has been working to compile a simple, central listing of reliable resources and information for businesses as it pertains to COVID-19. With the situation constantly changing, new mandates and guidelines are being created by the Federal, State, and Local Governments daily. We understand it may be challenging to navigate it all. Below you will find a comprehensive list of resources where you can find the most up-to-date information available from each of these levels of government, as well as other helpful information. Please take the time to thoroughly review the resources to gain as much knowledge as possible. Each organization has taken great steps to keep their data updated frequently. We believe this is the best way for you to stay informed. As always, please contact us via info@greateruticachamber.org or 315-724-3151 if we can assist you. We will continue to provide you with helpful information and support throughout this situation.
