On behalf of the business community, the Cedar City Area Chamber of Commerce presented Cedar City Corporation with the COVID HERO AWARD. The mayor, city council, and members of staff have stepped to help businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. They helped provide funding to produce PPE kits for businesses (which were produced locally), they matched a business grant provided to businesses in our community by the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, and they allocated a significant portion of the CARES Act funding to provide grants for local businesses. In addition, Mayor Wilson-Edwards put forth a proclamation in support of small business. Congratulations to Cedar City Corporation for receiving the first of fifteen COVID HERO Awards.
