About the webinar
As local governments across the country navigate the complexities of reopening to the public, ensuring the safety of employees, local businesses, and community members is of paramount importance. The transition back to normalcy is a delicate process that requires careful planning, clear communication, and the ability to swiftly adapt policies in response to changing circumstances. With the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, local governments must strike a balance between public safety and the need to revitalize their economies and communities.
This webinar offers valuable insights into the reopening experiences of two distinct communities: Jackson, Mississippi, and Lewisville, Texas. By sharing their unique challenges and innovative solutions, these cities provide a broader understanding of what it takes to manage reopening efforts effectively. Additionally, the webinar includes data and research from Zencity, highlighting key reopening concepts and strategies that can be applied across various local government contexts. The lessons learned from these cities can serve as a guide for others as they plan and implement their own reopening strategies.
