County Executive Marc Elrich initiated the series of town halls held every other Friday to share timely updates on COVID-19 topics of interest to the business community. The town halls give businesses an opportunity to hear directly from County leaders. Judy Costello, the County Executive’s special projects manager, will host the session.
During the Oct. 8 town hall, Ms. Costello will welcome Anthony Featherstone, executive director of WorkSource Montgomery. Ms. Costello and Mr. Featherstone will discuss how WorkSource Montgomery is contributing to economic recovery in Montgomery County.
“This is a pivotal time for our local, regional, and statewide economic recovery,” Mr. Featherstone said. “To this end, we know that our workforce system must be nimble and responsive to the specific needs of our County’s job seekers and businesses. We are happy to rejoin the Economic Revitalization and Recovery Town Hall to discuss the recovery efforts of WorkSource Montgomery and our partners.”
Ms. Costello also will address updates on the County COVID-19 vaccination efforts and economic recovery from the health crisis with Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Earl Stoddard and Deputy Health Officer James Bridgers.
If business owners, employees or residents have questions they would like to see addressed at the Oct. 8 town hall, they can be submitted by Wednesday, Oct. 6, to BizPortal@MontgomeryCountyMD.gov.
