Come Back to Cumberland Valley

At the heart of Cumberland Valley’s charming downtowns are local businesses that contribute to the unique character and economic livelihood of our community. These restaurants, shops, and attractions help to make our region a wonderful place to live, work, and play.  

 

In the past, tourism and visitor spending played vital roles in supporting these local businesses. Unfortunately, visitation decreased substantially in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have seen a strong uptick in visitation starting in the 2nd quarter of 2021, many local businesses are still struggling to recover from the losses sustained during the heart of the pandemic in 2020. They continue to rely more than ever on the support of neighbors and residents to keep them financially afloat.

Come Back to Cumberland Valley shares some information about the importance and impact of these locations on the local economy, offers ways that residents can support these businesses and their employees, provides suggestions for new locations you may not have previously explored, and offers community resources for local businesses.
