Eric Wolpert, CEO at EAW Tech in Manassas, took some time out of his busy schedule of supporting his customers to, instead, support his fellow local business owners in Downtown Manassas.
This is one of the best things I’ve seen online in recent days, and this truly is part of the Downtown Manassas culture, where over the years hosting 1 Million Cups Prince William at CenterFuse co-working center (where I also have a workspace, and you should, too, once this storm passes), I’ve seen business owners come together time and again to support each other.
Many small businesses like the ones in Downtown Manassas are now facing the real possibility of closing due to the massive economic downturn brought on by the coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China in December 2019.
A hat tip to Mr. Wolpert for spreading good cheer today. We’re all going to need a lot more of it.
