We appreciate and fully support our citizens right to make their voices heard during the drive-by event this afternoon here in Jefferson County. We understand our resident’s concerns and are considering them in balance with the health of the community as a whole based on local health data. We have been meeting with local business and civic leaders, tracking local disease impact and consulting with the State Health Department and Governor’s Office to determine the best way to protect public health and implement protocols to re-open, recover and re-engage the community during this pandemic. We will issue a short extension of our Stay at Home Order today to align with the Governor’s timeline of May 3, and later this week anticipate the issuance of Phase 1 of our re-engagement process which is anticipated to begin at mid-night May 3, 2020
