MRLA President & CEO Provides Statement Regarding Reopening Restaurants
“We appreciate that the legislature attempted to take decisive action today to provide a clear pathway for restaurants to reopen. This industry needs clarity and direction as it struggles to persist in trying times. We commend the governor for already leading with clear guidance on workplace and employee safety, and make no mistake, restaurants across this state stand ready to meet these new requirements. We are committed above all else to creating an environment conducive to the safe return of the general public to their favorite restaurant. For many restaurants, however, if that date isn’t known soon they may not be there at all. ”
