Thirteen local chambers of commerce, economic development agencies, and tourism partners have come together with DiscoverNEPA to create a regional resource page for our community for information on COVID-19.

Resource partners across the community have come together to develop a regional guide for information regarding COVID-19. This web page, located at www.discovernepa.com/coronavirus, will provide the community with resources for health recommendations and regulations, business and industry, small business financing, affected and displaced workers, the elderly, families, wellness, entertainment, and retail and restaurant updates, as well as a place to view and submit good things happening in our community during this time.

The partners on this project include the Back Mountain Chamber, DiscoverNEPA, the Endless Mountains Visitors Bureau, the Greater Carbondale Chamber of Commerce, The Greater Hazelton Chamber of Commerce, Greater Hazleton CAN DO, the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Scranton of Commerce, the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, the Lackawanna County Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce, the Schuylkill County Visitors Bureau, Visit Luzerne County, and the Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce.

Mary Kolessar, Executive Director of DiscoverNEPA, says of the initiative: “For DiscoverNEPA, this partnership with the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber and so many other regional community resources is indicative of our collective efforts to promote, strengthen, and sustain the incredible quality of life celebrated throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. We couldn’t be happier, or more proud to partner with all of these amazing organizations to provide our community with access to valuable sources of much-needed assistance and information.”

Through this site, our partners are working together to assist individuals in the community in finding the resources they need during this challenging time, as well as to assist our business community with resources, connecting digitally with our community, and financing options as they become available.
