TOWN OF SIDNEY BUSINESS SUPPORT SERVICES
As a result of the effects of the pandemic on Sidney’s business community, the Sidney Business Improvements Area Society, which represents downtown Sidney businesses, entered into an agreement with the Town of Sidney to provide business support services to all businesses within Sidney that hold a valid business license.
This agreement allowed for the hiring of a dedicated Business Development Manager whose responsibilities include reporting relevant business information to the Town of Sidney, enhancing available online resources for all businesses, maintaining a comprehensive dataset of all Sidney businesses, consulting with all new Sidney businesses, and establishing opportunities for businesses to recover from the effects of COVID-19.
