We realize some of these measures will have an adverse economic impact on your businesses, but we are hopeful taking these steps now will help to contain and halt the spread of the coronavirus so that we can do our part to get this pandemic under control. As business and community leaders, protect our employees, customers and residents should be our top priority.
 
Sincerely,
Erin Donovan-Boyle
