Beginning Friday, May 8, 2020, local retail businesses may begin providing curbside pick-up services to customers.
Examples of such businesses include bookstores, clothing stores, florists, sporting goods stores and other over-the-counter retailers. In addition, manufacturing and supply chain workplaces supporting these businesses may open.
Social Distancing Protocols must be followed in all of these settings.
Other types of businesses, including shopping malls, dine-in services, hair and nail salons, movie theaters and more,
remain prohibited
from operating.
We are aware that this is very quick notice with little time to fully prepare what this would look like. We are quickly working to gather more helpful information for you, and putting together a suggested
Guideline and List of Resources and Supplies
that your business may find helpful to get started.
This will be
a work in progress that we will continue adding to in the coming days
.
We are also communicating with the City Economic Development Dept. who is also working hard on getting local guidelines and "restart kits" for businesses. We will keep you updated!
Further State guidance on allowable businesses is expected to be issued Thursday. Business owners are advised to review State guidance to determine whether their establishments may reopen as well as operational practices, so that they may avoid enforcement actions.
