NCCC’s virtual ‘Open for Business’ event will offer resources for startups

New Castle County Chamber of Commerce’s (NCCC) June “Open for Business” seminar comes at a time when many businesses are reopening after a hiatus due to the COVID-19 shutdown, while new businesses are born out of necessary pivots and the changing needs of the community. More than ever, founders need to know what resources are available to them.

The June 25 event, which will take place virtually on Zoom from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., will feature representatives from 2o of NCCC’s resource partners, as well as NCCC itself.
