Reopen and Restore
Reopen & Restore Dauphin County Task Force
The Dauphin County Board of Commissioners desires to begin a process of gradually restoring the local economy, allowing local businesses to safely resume a level of operations and putting people back to work while adhering to CDC guidelines. To accomplish these goals, the Commissioners are forming the Reopen and Restore Dauphin County Task Force to actively engage stakeholders and community members and provide local input and guidance.
The Task Force focuses on powering back up the economy while keeping a close eye on the public health data to ensure the spread of disease remains contained to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, the Task Force seeks to support the community and address mental health, hunger, unemployment, addiction and other issues that were compounded by the coronavirus crisis. The Reopen and Restore Dauphin County Task Force consists of three Advisory Teams:
- The Business Advisory Team;
- The Public Health and Safety Advisory Team; and,
- The Social Services Advisory Team.
Each of these teams will focus on their key areas to gather information and make recommendations to the Board; provide avenues of input for citizens and community groups to share and receive information with the county; and, assist the board in developing an economic recovery plan that will lead the county safely and successfully into reopening and beyond.
