"It is our hope Gov. Kelly and the Kansas Legislature work quickly together during the special session to resolve the issues between them and provide Kansans and the state's business community the assurances needed to safely move our economy forward."

“By identifying the key issues our community is facing as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, we can begin to formulate a tailor-made community recovery strategy that provides actionable, long-lasting solutions and helps establish effective future response measures.”

“Despite the effects of the COVID-19 shutdown on the business community, it is encouraging to see the next generation still interested in considering entrepreneurship as a career path.

"In times of crisis, Kansans respond swiftly to ensure their families are safe and to help their neighbors and strangers. That same spirit has played out time and time again across the state during the COVID-19 crisis.”

A survey released by the Kansas Chamber Tuesday found Kansans are ready to reopen the state's economy and are concerned about the economic damage caused by the COVID-19 health crisis.
