Thousands of jobs lost in Phoenix. Thousands of businesses struggling to stay alive. All within a matter of weeks.
To help, Phoenix has opened a hotline for companies blindsided during the pandemic.
“As you can imagine, it’s a different world for cities and people in economic development than it was about four and half weeks ago as we understood the governor was going to implement a stay-at-home order, and what that meant for our businesses and our non-essential businesses,” said Christine Mackay, director of community and economic development. Her department is overseeing the hotline.
