General Wellness
In the summer of 2019, Liz Glover Wilson had just opened the second location of her burgeoning Gardiner yoga studio and wellness campus, Stone Wave Yoga, in Poughkeepsie. Like so many other small business owners in the Hudson Valley, she had no way of knowing that only months later her entire business would fundamentally change. With the pandemic’s economic and personal challenges constantly at her door, however, yoga remained the one thing that Glover Wilson knew she could count on. “A lot of the students who stayed with us this last year are hungry to learn more about the yoga tool kit because they’re seeing that it really does work,” she says.

After a decade in the New York City music industry, Brenna Chase realized she was ready to turn the tables and claim the creative role for herself. Instead of music, however, Chase chose to pursue the historic arts of stained glass and gold leaf, and started her own workshop, Willow Deep Studio in Rosendale in 2018.

The Cornell Creative Business Center provides tools for small businesses to succeed
The small business accelerator program at Cornell Creative Business Center in Midtown Kingston was founded in 2016 by the Arc Mid-Hudson as a way to bring more businesses to Kingston while fulfilling its mission to support its network of approximately 1,700 people with disabilities in Ulster, Greene, and Putnam counties. In exchange for employing people with disabilities, local businesses in the center receive below-market rent plus infrastructure support like advice on scaling its equipment and technology.

Hudson
Despite increased summer sales, many small businesses are still reeling from the pandemic's effect on the economy. In May, as an effort to support Hudson's small business community, the Hudson Business Coalition launched the Hudson Bonds program. The purchase of a $50 Hudson Bond gives you $25 to spend at any participating business and allocates $25 to a grant fund where those same businesses can get direct relief.
