COVID-19 Information

Clear Creek County and its municipalities are designing a grant program to help businesses affected by COVID-19 survive.  The amount of money that we have for this program is not sufficient to meet all of the needs of all businesses.  There is a need for us to be strategic in deciding which businesses receive funds and how much each business receives and we want your input.  The following questions are intended to inform the design of this program.  

Wearing masks or cloth face coverings is one of the best ways to protect others and prevent community spread. Share your thoughts here.

Wearing masks or cloth face coverings is one of the best ways to protect others and prevent community spread. Share your thoughts about the topic.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out this very brief survey. We have been notified of a potential grant opportunity from the state and would like to use it as a way to help businesses in Clear Creek County make it through the winter. We are trying to learn from you what would help your business survive. Some ideas could be:

• Weatherized outdoor spaces for restaurants
• More digital advertising for businesses
• Centralized online sales website

If you have any additional comments, questions or concerns, please reach out to Alyssa Dinberg, Recovery Coordinator at adinberg@clearcreekcounty.us 

The Clear Creek Board of County Commissioners are asking for your participating in a short survey to understand how many businesses in the County would be interested in participating in the 5 Star State Certification Program. The 5 Star State Certification is a program set up at the county level through an administrative committee who is responsible for developing, implementing and overseeing the program. It allows businesses who implement safety measures beyond what is already required by public health orders and guidelines to accelerate their reopening. Depending on where their county falls on the COVID-19 dial, certified businesses are eligible for less restrictive capacity caps.  The information you provide will help the Board of County Commissioners decide whether to create the program.  

Please review your respective industry mitigation strategy sheet to understand the participation requirements prior to filling out the survey. 

• General business mitigation strategies
• Gyms & fitness mitigation strategies
• Restaurant mitigation strategies
• Personal services mitigation strategies
• Indoor events mitigation strategies

Please know that based on Clear Creek County's current test positivity rate, we are not eligible to implement the 5 Star State Certification but the Board of County Commissioners plans to make a decision about whether to create the program knowing our numbers our trending down.
