Small Business Critical Repairs in Northeast Ohio

Small businesses are the cornerstone of strong, healthy and vibrant neighborhoods. Rebuilding Together Northeast Ohio is thrilled to partner with Republic Services to support the critical needs of small businesses affected by COVID-19 in Cleveland and Akron.

Many small business owners across the country are experiencing financial hardship and economic disruption because of the COVID-19 shutdowns. Through grants provided by the Republic Services Charitable Foundation, RTNEO will be able to provide much needed support to local business owners as they begin returning to work. Some of the repairs performed will include rebuilding surrounding business infrastructure, critical landscape repairs and modifications to allow for safe access of buildings, sidewalks, parking lots, storefronts and nearby public and common spaces.

“Republic Services understands the integral role small businesses play in our communities,” said Caroline Blakely, President and CEO of Rebuilding Together. “With their support, we can help businesses recover from the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and position them to serve their community for years to come.”

We have selected nine small businesses in total to partner with on this effort. Stayed tuned to our social media accounts in the coming months to see highlights on these businesses and the progress of their projects.
