During a time of crisis and some of the lowest RevPAR numbers we’ve seen, it seems counter-intuitive to think about property upgrades in the hospitality industry. However, now may be the optimum time to look at upgrades that position the property to be successful in a post-COVID-19 world. Properties may want to explore funds made [...]
On-premises laundries have little tolerance for repairs and downtime during a normal period. Now, if you are serving a healthcare, long-term care, nursing home or fire/EMS facility during a pandemic, extended downtime is not an option.

Fire departments are on the front lines keeping us safe 24/7. With the emergence of COVID-19, firefighters find themselves even more in harm’s way, along with all first responders.
