Community Encouraged to Submit Questions Prior
DECD has been a leading force for the State’s reopening efforts and has been a critical partner for the work done in Westport. Commissioner Lehman will join the ReOpen Team meeting on Thursday to provide an update on modified rules for certain business sectors, the decision to delay Phase 3 of reopening, and to answer the community's questions.
Ms. Tooker stated, “The community has re-engaged with our local businesses while keeping infection rates low. We continue to work hard to build confidence among our residents and business owners for a safe and staged reopening. It is with this background that we welcome Commissioner Lehman to our ReOpen Team meeting. We encourage the community to submit questions and watch the meeting.”
Currently, in Westport, over 75% of our retailers have opened their doors, over 60% of our salons and barbershops are providing services, over 50 restaurants and delis are offering outdoor dining and dozens of fitness studios are hosting classes, with an outdoor option soon to be available. Of course, we still have numerous businesses that never closed and continue to keep their doors open, prioritizing the safety and health of clients and employees. In addition, many outdoor spaces in Town have been activated to provide safe entertainment options, showcasing the creativity of our community.”
