"I and other County Officials are monitoring Governor Hutchinson's directives regarding the re-opening of businesses, restaurants, and venues," Saline County Judge Jeff Arey said. "Saline County is currently evaluating how these directives can be put in place in regards to county buildings. At this time county buildings remain restricted to the public with limited access.  The public is encouraged to conduct business online, by email, or phone; and to an appointment where an in-person meeting is required."
