Grand Rapids Chamber issued the following announcement on March 19.
Take a look at the Chamber's statement on Governor Gretchen Whitmer's childcare Executive Order. It is the Chamber's hope that all stakeholders - intermediate school districts, local education agencies, employers, early childhood educators, private and community-based child care centers and licensed in-home providers-work together to coordinate efforts.
The Grand Rapids Chamber appreciates the emphasis placed on childcare during these difficult times. Childcare is a major barrier to workforce development and this only escalates in times of crisis, especially for our essential workforce.
Executive Order 2020-16 authorizes employers to operate disaster relief child care centers for their employees and public and nonpublic schools to open facilities focused on aiding our essential workforce. Those in the essential workforce include health care workers, home health workers direct care workers, emergency medical service providers, first responders, law enforcement personnel, sanitation workers, child care workers, personnel providing correctional services, postal workers, public health employees, key government employees, court personnel, and others providing critical infrastructure to Michiganders.
