Current state of Downtown Madison business

The July 29 meeting will feature a talk by Lisa Ellis, the Director of Business Development for the Downtown Development Commission (DDC). The DDC is a cooperative effort of Borough government and local business and non-profit leaders, and actively tracks and promotes the health of Madison’s local business community. With the worst of the Covid pandemic now behind us, Lisa will review how the DDC and local leaders addressed the stresses caused by pandemic-related shutdowns and other restrictions. She will review how the local business community came through the pandemic and provide her thoughts on the positive impacts of the reopening of the Borough’s, and state’s, economies.
