LAKELAND, FL — Many essential businesses in Lakeland remain open to provide necessary services like food, repairs, health care and more.

To help local residents navigate what is open and closed in town during the coronavirus crisis, we've introduced a simple small business guide. It's also free.

It's a local directory page that business owners can quickly and easily update with their status. To add your business to the directory, use the form at the bottom of this article.

You can access the directory here. Please share the link around the community.

We're going to continue to publish the directory on Patch, in our local email newsletters and on our local Facebook pages to ensure that as many community members as possible know the status of your business.

We'll continue to do this until this crisis has passed, and our local businesses are back to normal operations.

We also understand that many local businesses aren't open currently, but are working through contingency plans to open again soon. You can list your business in the directory and update it when you're back open.

We encourage you to share the link with your friends, neighbors and your social media connections, to help support local businesses through this very difficult time. And if you know a local business owner, make sure they get their business on the list by sharing this article.
