“While we are glad to see the reopening of our economy and services to improve the lives of our residents, we would like to remind you to stay safe. Practice physical distancing, wear a mask or face covering when physical distancing is not possible and avoid congregating with those outside your household,” said Mayor Steven Byvelds. “Our efforts are paying off but we must continue in order to keep our numbers low. Thank you to our residents, businesses and essential workers who are all doing their part.”
