Has the COVID pandemic sounded the death knell of mass transit and other forms of shared transportation – or is this the opportunity the industry has been waiting for?

Transportation in nearly all forms has taken a devastating hit since March. Join us as Joe Campolo and Peter Klein welcome John Corrado, President of Suffolk Transportation Service, Inc. for a deep dive into the future of transit. The discussion will focus on how the sector is reopening, what the future looks like for riders, and the technology that can keep transportation moving forward including on-demand apps and “Uber-style” transit services.

Transit changes will have an extraordinary impact on the business community, real estate development, school districts, and the Long Island economy – empower yourself with the knowledge of what’s to come. As always, Joe and Peter will also discuss the latest business recovery updates.

Date: Tuesday, June 30
Time: 12:00 p.m. (note new time for this episode only)

On June 16, 2020 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m., join Gettry Marcus, CPA, P.C. and CMM’s Christine Malafi for Part 3 of the webinar series on the recently passed Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (“PPPFA”). The PPPFA greatly increases the likelihood of loan forgiveness.

This webinar will address PPPFA’s impact on earlier provisions of the PPP loan program, including the following:
• An increase in the Covered Period from 8 to 24 weeks, but no later than December 31, 2020.
• During the period February 15, 2020 to December 31, 2020, loan forgiveness will be exempt from a reduction in the number of FTE’s pursuant to additional PPPFA guidelines.
• To receive loan forgiveness, a borrower now must use at least 60% of the PPP loan amount for payroll costs and may use up to 40% for non-payroll costs (with possible “cliff” provisions).
• PPP loan terms can now generally range from 2 to 5 years, with the possibility of a longer 10-year term.
• PPP loan borrowers are now eligible for the CARES Act payroll tax deferral.
• Planning Tools
• SBA and Treasury Department Guidance
• Q&A

PROGRAM PANELISTS:

• Lee Ferber, CPA, Partner at Gettry Marcus CPA, P.C.
• Christine Malafi, Esq., Senior Partner at Campolo, Middleton & McCormick, LLP

Business owners: don’t miss our next “Business Unusual” webinar as Joe Campolo and Peter Klein discuss Long Island business recovery, the markets, and strategies to move forward productively. They will also welcome Rich Humann, President & CEO of H2M architects + engineers, to address infrastructure investment.

Investing in infrastructure is often viewed as the fastest way to boost economic growth by stimulating job creation and helping a battered economy recover. But COVID-19 has turned old rules and accepted wisdom on its head. Is infrastructure spending feasible and worthwhile in today’s new normal? Join us for a critical discussion about which projects are happening, which are paused, and which have been axed. We’ll address how stimulus dollars are being used, whether infrastructure spending can fill tax voids in the middle of a pandemic, and whether we can grow our way out of this crisis by investing in infrastructure.

Our reality is anything but business as usual. Join business leaders Joe Campolo and Peter Klein for our next webinar as they discuss Long Island business recovery and the markets. They will also welcome John Miller, President & CEO of Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs, and Terri Alessi-Miceli, President & CEO of HIA-LI, to discuss how nonprofits and business associations are moving forward.

Part of what sets Long Island apart is its vibrant nonprofit community and chambers of commerce. Over the past few months, the work of these organizations has become more important than ever. Join us to hear from Terri Alessi-Miceli about the critical role that 501(c)(6) business organizations, such as HIA-LI, will have in our economic recovery. John Miller, as head of national nonprofits, will address the challenges of operating on a national scale among a patchwork of differing state rules. We’ll also focus on the unique relationship between the business and nonprofit communities on Long Island and what we can expect to see as galas go virtual and nonprofits work to stretch their dollars.

Our new world is far from business as usual. Join business leaders Joe Campolo and Peter Klein for our next business recovery webinar as they welcome Jim Coughlan, Principal and Co-Founder of TRITEC Real Estate Company.

This episode will focus on the real estate development sector – a key piece of Long Island’s previously booming economy. Now that the COVID pandemic has changed how we work, live, and play, how will the real estate development sector respond to changing needs?

Social distancing, businesses struggling to pay rent, changing workplaces, and former commuters seeking local spaces are all part of our new reality. Real estate development on Long Island must be repurposed and reimagined in response. We look forward to a critical discussion that will empower business owners to confidently examine their workplaces and move forward.

Our new world is anything but business as usual. Join business leaders Joe Campolo and Peter Klein for our next business recovery webinar as they welcome Joe Camberato, President of National Business Capital & Services.

The economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be felt in devastating new ways. Business owners have had to return to the most basic of economic principles as they struggle to stay afloat: cash is king. Businesses have had to make cuts that would have seemed unfathomable just a few months ago.

As the business community tightens its belt, join us to learn innovative ways to manage your cash flow as we hunker down for a longer period of financial unrest than we imagined. The discussion will focus on creatively stretching your dollars and how to pivot your financial practices to a more sustainable path.

Restrictions may slowly be easing, but our new world is anything but business as usual. Join business leaders Joe Campolo and Peter Klein for this week’s business recovery webinar as they welcome Kevin O’Connor, President & CEO of BNB Bank.

The discussion will focus on long-term strategies for businesses to survive in our new world. While the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) remains the hot topic of the moment, it’s merely a stopgap. We need to start thinking now about how to survive once those funds run out. As leaders, we cannot rely on the PPP to save our businesses and our economy – we must do it ourselves by accepting reality and reinventing business as we know it. Join us for an intimate discussion on what that reinvention may look like.
