Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association President & CEO Provides Statement Regarding Executive Order 2020-183
“We welcome the governor’s announcement today to increase capacity for meeting and banquet spaces and appreciate her willingness to listen to an industry that has been decimated since the onset of the pandemic. Increasing capacity to 20 people per 1,000 square feet to the rest of the state – while increasing to 25 people per 1,000 square feet for Regions 6 and 8 – is a step in the right direction to give Michigan’s hospitality industry a better shot at remaining open and viable as the colder winter months approach. We look forward to continuing to work with this administration on common sense solutions that allow for safe expansion of dining indoors.”
