Freeholder Director Shaun C. Van Doren and Deputy Director Susan J.

Van Doren and Soloway, in a letter to the Governor, stated, “Numerous restaurants in Hunterdon County and across the State of New Jersey continue to face severe economic hardship and despite their best efforts they have faced challenges in offering outdoor dining. Now they have invested in preparations for indoor dining only to have the rug pulled out at the last moment.”
