With the first presumptive positive tests for COVID-19 reported in Garfield County over the weekend, Western Garfield County Chamber CEO and director Tanya Doose organized a meeting Monday in Rifle to brainstorm ideas and create resources for the community to use.<\/p>\n

Doose posed the question to those in attendance on how they could collectively create a group of leaders within our community.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody I believe is a leader. Go out and strategize and go out and have a group of people that have come together and support what our community needs right now,\u201d Doose said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are seeing so much on social media right now, it\u2019s really scaring people and causing a lot of anxiety. We have a lot of our businesses that are struggling, they are already starting to feel it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The chamber started WesternGarCo Community & Business Page on Facebook to try and help distribute information to the community of western Garfield County.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea behind the Western GarCo Community & Business Page, is so that people can have one place during this time with the COVID(-19) outbreak, that they would be able for a business and community to make those connections socially,\u201d Doose said.<\/p>\n

The chamber and locals in Rifle are encouraging business owners to do curbside delivery and carryout if they do not offer it already.<\/p>\n
