“Now that Gov. Sisolak has authorized the start of Phase 2 of the state’s ‘Nevada United: Roadmap to Recovery’ reopening plan, there are a lot of questions in the business community about how to proceed,” Weekly said in a statement. “I’m hopeful this … event will help answer questions that the business community has.”
The county Commission on Tuesday is also expected to discuss how $21.5 million in coronavirus relief funds that it set aside for economic recovery programs may be used to support small businesses.
