#ReOpenLV | Back to Business

Reopen Lehigh Valley
​
A resource for Lehigh Valley Businesses outlining the process of reopening to the public.

On Wednesday April 22, 2020, Governor Tom Wolf announced three stages to reopening Pennsylvania. The plan includes three colored-coded phases of Red, Yellow, and Green to strategically ease restrictions currently in place. Specific metrics must be met before opening a region.

In response, The Chamber has pulled together valuable resources your organization can use in your effort to reopen. Included on this page are signs and guidelines, recommended suppliers of PPE, and a link to the EPA disinfectant list. Messages for marketing to customers, training tips for employees and industry specific guidelines will be provided and adapted as new data emerges.

Additional resource pages from the White House, OSHA, the CDC, and other public sector offices are listed to provide valuable information for your business to be prepared for reopening. The priority during this time will be the safety of staff and consumers as the goal is to continue to protect lives.

  • King Spry Herman Freund & Faul FOR Employment and Labor, Employee Benefits;
  • Zator Law FOR Estate Planning, Bankruptcy, Business/Commercial Law, Real Estate, Criminal Defense, and Workers’ Compensation;
