MAIN STREET LINCOLN PARK & COVID-19
Main Street Lincoln Park is dedicated to providing our business community and neighbors with the best information we have available and when available, additional tools and resources to help us come out the other side of this unprecedented time stronger, smarter, and more resilient.
Below, you will find links to assist with economic impacts, information about the spread of COVID-19, and other useful information as it becomes available. The information here is mainly directed to the business community. However, we invite you to look at the list for Lincoln Park residents for additional information to help your own family and the families of your employees as well as the neighborhood at large.
If you come across anything you feel should be added, please send the link to Shannon at Ecolibrium3: shannon@ecolibrium3.org or call 218 – 336 – 1038 x 205
