The COVID-19 pandemic has placed enormous stress on local businesses, and the City of Rockville has partnered with the Rockville Chamber of Commerce, Rockville Economic Development, Inc., and Montgomery County Economic Development Corp. to help.
Business operators will be able to discover resources and get advice, as well as ask questions and discuss solutions at the virtual Rockville Business Forum, 9-10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16.
