The Sullivan Chamber and Economic Development has been keeping rather busy, according to Executive Director Laurrie Minor. They recently worked with Eastern Illinois University on a story about the history of Sullivan.

As the Executive Director of the Sullivan Chamber, Minor talks with small business owners on a regular basis. The business owners that Minor has talked with recently are somewhat nervous about the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases.

A lot of the Sullivan based businesses are sole proprietorships and according to Minor they’re not eligible for the assistance that other businesses are eligible for. 

Laurrie Minor was a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
