Recharge & Recover PHL
Preparing for recovery
The global pandemic has impacted the lives and livelihoods of individuals across the world, nation, and our region in ways both readily apparent and yet to be seen. Stay-at-home orders, historic unemployment, and civil unrest have sidelined growth, productivity, and viability in our business and civic communities — particularly for our small businesses and minority-owned enterprises — and have exposed great inequity in our society.
In response, the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia (the Chamber) and its regional CEO Council for Growth initiated an unprecedented public-private collaboration with commitments from over 160 expert leaders from the business and civic communities to devise, present, and implement solutions for this crisis in a unified voice as the Philadelphia Regional Recharge and Recovery Task Force (Task Force).

Recovery Metrics
The human and economic costs of COVID-19 in our region have been significant and continue to mount as the situation evolves. While the pandemic has touched all, it has not impacted all equally. Black and brown communities have suffered disproportionately when compared to the rest of the region. Data sources can be found in the Phase 1 Recommendations & Actions report.
