Dear TRENDS Diary,
Last year was incredibly challenging for local businesses, and unfortunately those challenges have continued into 2021.
In Nederland, every single business has felt the impact of COVID-19 – whether it be through mandatory closures, modifying their business practices so that they can do to-go and/or curbside pick-up, and making sure that they have the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure the health and safety of their employees. All of these changes put a lot of pressure on the small business owners in our community.
In an effort to support these businesses – and in my role as Deputy Town Administrator/Town Clerk – I have committed to making sure that we are consistently sending information to them about how the changes in level restrictions impact them, specifically.

Dear TRENDS Diary,
I’m a retired healthcare worker and small business owner [The Shop, theshopned.com] in the mountain community of Nederland. I was busy preparing for a festive Frozen Dead Guy Days weekend last March when we went into the shutdown.
A small group of community activists quickly realized that we were facing a very unusual situation, and that many of our neighbors were in need of help. We are accustomed to pitching in during fires and floods, but this was even more far-reaching.
I volunteered to reach out via social media, and to see what we could do. I asked for volunteers, and asked people to let me know what they needed to be able to stay safely at home.
I was overwhelmed by the response. Very soon, I had lists of volunteers and requests for help.
