MELROSE — COVID-19 is continuing to have a major impact on local businesses. Officials recognize the stress that Melrose’s entrepreneurs, workers and freelancers are under due to the disruption of normal commerce and the current level of uncertainty.

The city has begun to add COVID-19 resources for businesses to its Businesses Webpage, found by going here: https://www.cityofmelrose.org/home/pages/businesses.

Business owners can now find resources related to the Mask Ordinance that went into effect on January 2, 2022 on this webpage. This is the first step of many towards increasing communication between Melrose business owners and the Mayor’s office and increasing business owners’ access to helpful COVID-19 resources.

As part of this process, all business owners are invited to reach out to Lily Wall, the City’s new Communications and Community Outreach Coordinator, with any ideas, questions and/or feedback, by emailing her at lwall@cityofmelrose.org. Officials are hoping to hear from you, so they can learn more about how city government can help you and your business thrive in Melrose.
