FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 8, 2020

Statement from County Executive Ed Day

We are pleased that the Governor has finally set a date for malls to be allowed to reopen. Continuing to subject the hundreds of small businesses that operate within the Palisades Center and elsewhere around New York State to unfair and unnecessary regulation would have had devastating economic consequences. These spaces are reopening with significant additional precautions in place to protect the health and safety of employees and customers.

I remind everyone that as we reenter these businesses, we must all continue to practice the good habits of social distancing, wearing face coverings and thoroughly washing our hands. These habits helped us get COVID-19 under control locally and in order for our shops, restaurants and businesses to remain open we need to maintain the progress we've made.
