Since early April, the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce & Economic Development Corporation and El Paso County Public Health have been working together to balance public health concerns with economic health concerns in our community. Together, we developed the "We're Staying Safe" signs for businesses to post to notify customers that they are complying with state and local health guidelines. Look for these signs when you enter businesses — they let you know which businesses are working to keep you safe. You can also help your favorite businesses thrive by following health guidelines yourself.
