“Businesses on Cape Cod are preparing for what promises to be a very busy summer season, despite the pandemic,” said Oliver. “The Coop stands ready to assist local businesses as they navigate challenges – expected and unexpected – during this anything but typical summer.”
Topics discussed include liquidity and reserves from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for businesses as they head into the summer season; timing of PPP funding rounds and how it has impacted local seasonal businesses; predictions of robust leisure travel to Cape Cod this summer; recruiting challenges, especially with H-2B visa employees; and housing affordability in the region.
In 2021, The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod and Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce are both celebrating the centennial of their founding.
The Coop, which will officially mark the 100th anniversary milestone on July 19, was established in 1921 as a mutual community bank serving residents of Cape Cod and has remained true to that commitment for the past century.
“I congratulate the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce on the occasion of its centennial,” said Oliver. “Like The Coop, it has served Cape Cod and Cape Codders as a true community asset during all of the ups-and-downs of the past 100 years.”
