PASSAIC COUNTY LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE BUSINESS MAPPING TOOL TO LOCATE LOCAL SERVICES

(Passaic County, New Jersey) – This week, the Passaic County Board of Chosen Freeholders launched the county’s Open For Business Map as a way to share information on the operational status and services of Passaic County businesses as the county begins to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The map provides an easy way to find information on a variety of local businesses, including operating hours, pickup and delivery options, and even where to access PPE supplies and installation services.

“This mapping application is an innovative way to allow our residents to have easier access to information on the services being offered in their local neighborhood, and additionally, allows our local businesses to inform residents that they are starting to open back up for business,” stated Freeholder Director Sandi Lazzara.

The mapping tool includes a brief questionnaire for businesses to provide information such as current hours of operation, type of business, customer services and contact information. In addition to providing information to the public through the online map, businesses who respond will receive promotional support through a Passaic County tourism representative and See Passaic County social media posts.

“Local businesses not only provide important services, but they also play an integral part in bringing growth and boosting the local economy. This creates room for expanded services and job opportunities,” added Freeholder Director Lazzara. “We encourage residents to share the map with friends, family, neighbors, and favorite businesses, and as always, support local businesses for their daily needs.”
