Despite COVID-19, several local businesses are still operating

In an effort to support our fellow small business – many of which are struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic – the News Journal has assembled at least a partial list of businesses in the Corbin and Williamsburg areas that are still operating.

We assembled this list through a group e-mail sent to all members of the Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, and through a Facebook post on the News Journal’s Facebook page seeking information about open retail businesses.

If you don’t see your business listed, to paraphrase Billy Joel “You gotta tell us about it…”(LOL), by e-mailing Managing Editor Mark White at mwhite@corbinnewsjournal.com.

We will also be publishing this list on our website, and on our Facebook page. In addition, we will be publishing the list periodically in the coming weeks to help out our local business community. #allinthistogether.
