December 8, 2020 Governor Tim Walz Speaker Melissa Hortman Majority
December 8, 2020 Governor Tim Walz Minority Leader Kurt Daudt Speaker Melissa Hortman Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka Majority Leader Ryan Winkler Senator Minority Leader Susan Kent Dear State Leaders: We are jointly and urgently calling upon you to act quickly toward an agreement that will provide immediate economic relief for our small businesses and communities. Rochester and Olmsted County’s business and service sector has been hit due to the pandemic, in a similar fashion to other communities around the state. The entities signed below have come together to work jointly since the pandemic in a local, coordinated effort titled “Rochester Ready” to ensure a safe and resilient recovery for the area. This unique public- private partnership group has assisted and communicate with local businesses and the community. We encourage you to also come together as state leaders during this extremely challenging and dynamic time to assist communities and businesses in need. Local units of governments in our area have thoughtfully and quickly distributed funding received through the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), but much of the programs and assistance provided through that funding will expire at the end of the year. It is important that additional assistance continue into 2021, as the impacts of the pandemic will continue as well. Immediate, additional assistance for small businesses that have been impacted by the pandemic and an extension of the unemployment insurance program is critically needed in our community and for the state’s economy. Sincerely, -City of Rochester -Mayo Clinic -Destination Medical Center (DMC) -Olmsted County -Diversity Council -Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce -The Greater Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau -Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc.
