As of this week, more than 140 Montclair businesses had joined a centralized directory organizers hope will promote Montclair shops, restaurants, vendors and services — and now, connect them with resources for recovery from Ida.

“We realized we needed a place where they could find out where all the businesses were. That meant one single directory that could easily be used to find anything across Montclair,” Raj Amin, founding partner of consulting company Teem Ventures, said. Amin heads up the small business subcommittee of Mayor Sean Spiller’s COVID-19 Recovery Task Force, which had been looking for ways to promote local businesses struggling through the lockdowns, restrictions and economic downturn of the coronavirus pandemic.
