Kansas City area businesses are looking ahead on how to thrive amid the pandemic. Motivated to help businesses in KC, business owner Heath Wessling had an idea. “I think we can simplify the situation, I think we can find common ground,” said Heath Wessling, Founder/Owner of the Kansas City Wellness Club.Wessling, and the newly formed group Kansas City Rebirth, wrote a letter to Metro mayors and health department leaders calling for goals and milestones to be set for the weeks and months ahead, and the formation of a community committee—all to prevent further problems for kc businesses. “We are not here to pick a fight or be rebels at all, we want to kickstart a real collaboration that is very inclusive,” said Wessling. The group’s letter points to three main requests to area leaders: help from the business community, more consideration of the unintentional effects of policies, and the need for more goal setting.”Small businesses that do not survive this, is a big-time fear, and it’s not just that business or business owner, that has direct impact on employees, their livelihoods, their families,” said Wessling. So far the letter has gained support from a dozen kc metro businesses but Wessling hopes that number grows.”Hopefully more business owners see this as a way, a low risk in a way that’s a unification atmosphere,” said Wessling.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Kansas City area businesses are looking ahead on how to thrive amid the pandemic.
Motivated to help businesses in KC, business owner Heath Wessling had an idea.
“I think we can simplify the situation, I think we can find common ground,” said Heath Wessling, Founder/Owner of the Kansas City Wellness Club.
Wessling, and the newly formed group Kansas City Rebirth, wrote a letter to Metro mayors and health department leaders calling for goals and milestones to be set for the weeks and months ahead, and the formation of a community committee—all to prevent further problems for kc businesses.
“We are not here to pick a fight or be rebels at all, we want to kickstart a real collaboration that is very inclusive,” said Wessling.
The group’s letter points to three main requests to area leaders: help from the business community, more consideration of the unintentional effects of policies, and the need for more goal setting.
“Small businesses that do not survive this, is a big-time fear, and it’s not just that business or business owner, that has direct impact on employees, their livelihoods, their families,” said Wessling.
So far the letter has gained support from a dozen kc metro businesses but Wessling hopes that number grows.
“Hopefully more business owners see this as a way, a low risk in a way that’s a unification atmosphere,” said Wessling.
