Federal changes’ impact on our business community
Many businesses in our community are facing uncertainty due to policy changes at the federal level. We’ve heard from several of you, and are grateful for the
conversations we’ve had around a few key areas of concern: tariffs, compliance requirements and best practices for workplace policies, funding for
organizations that receive government support—particularly nonprofits—and small business loans.
Although guidelines and resources are sparse at this time, we are committed to keeping our members informed. As more information becomes available, we will provide updates to help you understand and effectively comply with any changes. Our goal is to equip our members with the tools they need to adapt and build stability in the months ahead.
We are here to support you, and our doors are always open. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or want to discuss how these changes may impact your organization. Chamber President, Tim Sink, can be reached at tsink@concordnhchamber.com or (603) 224-2508.
