COVID-19 BUSINESS ACCREDITATION
Times are tough. For business owners, they're really tough.
Clear Creek County and the CCEDC are excited to offer a specially curated, no cost COVID-19 Business Accreditation Program to help you through current challenges. You will receive credit for participating in activities in the following categories: Safety, Self Care, Financial Accountability, Marketing, and De-escalation. The majority of courses can be completed on your own. However, we periodically host live digital events - refer to the event calendar below for details!
Once you have completed the required credits for a specific category, you will earn a badge (window decal) to display at your business. When you have received all five badges, your business will be a Clear Creek COVID-19 Accredited Business.
