BCW Task Force Taking the Lead in Westchester’s Economic Recovery
As Westchester’s premier business organization focused on economic development, the Business Council of Westchester has taken the lead in helping the County’s economy reemerge from the unprecedented downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In April, the BCW announced the formation of the BCW’s Economic Recovery Task Force. The Task Force brings together nearly 50 business leaders from across all sectors of Westchester’s economy to develop strategies and recommendations get the county’s economy up and running as soon as possible.
Since then, the Task Force has issued two reports which were delivered to Governor Andrew Cuomo and County Executive George Latimer. The BCW also held two virtual Town Hall meetings that were well-attended by BCW members who raised new issues and made recommendations. A survey was recently sent to all BCW members to assess their concerns and needs on how to successfully reemerge from the pandemic.
The Task Force will continue to meet and seek to identify strategies which will be useful for the State and County administrations in its planning for the months ahead.
