Our goals are to build a baseline of data from which to measure our recovery from the Covid-19 crisis, provide feedback to state and local policymakers regarding how Windsor businesses have been impacted, prioritize recovery initiatives, and connect participants with resources.

Essential Businesses, Order Free Masks for Your Employees: CONNSTEP and CBIA have partnered with the state of Connecticut to assist in the distribution of recently donated surgical masks to eligible businesses. Eligible businesses include those listed as essential businesses as defined by the state with 50 employees or fewer. Eligible businesses can request no more than two masks per employee by filling out the form found on this web page. Small businesses with employees that have little contact with the public are strongly urged to create their own face masks or face coverings following CDC guidelines to ensure the limited supply of surgical masks go to businesses that need them the most.
