Six Chambers of Commerce (Greater Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce, Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce, Back Mountain Chamber of Commerce, Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce, and Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce) across the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania wrote letters to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, state legislators, and federal legislators to stand together and in strong support of the economic, workforce, and business stimulus funding packages currently being advanced by bi-partisan committees in the US House and US Senate, as well as those being advanced by the PA Congress and Governor Tom Wolf.

The letters advocated for the need of, "Any COVID restrictions must be offset with stimulus and funding infusions in our communities". Businesses are encouraged to contact their elected officials to stress the need for additional funding.
