Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association President & CEO Provides Statement Regarding Statewide Reopening of Restaurants
“Michigan’s beleaguered hospitality industry welcomes Governor Whitmer’s announcement today to reopen restaurants statewide. Our northern Michigan restaurants set a tremendous example for the rest of the state that this industry is capable of operating in challenging times while ensuring the safety of guests and workers alike. While today is an important milestone for the restaurant industry, this is just the beginning of our important work of keeping restaurants open, helping them survive so that one day soon they may thrive. The MRLA will be here to help them every step of the way.”
