Placer Advances to Orange Tier of Reopening – Stay Cautious
Today the State announced that Placer County has moved from the “Substantial” category (Red tier) of its Blueprint for a Safer Economy into the “Moderate” category (Orange tier), indicating a reduction in our COVID-19 cases. This means increased capacity and flexibility for our businesses, such as restaurants and retail stores, as well for community activities, such as recreation facilities and places of worship. While this does not mean we will see a full-scale reopening, we will see capacities closer to what we enjoyed in early summer. We’ve achieved this through your efforts! Keep it up! As we head into colder temperatures, this increased capacity for indoor venues becomes even more important to the stability of our businesses. Staying in the orange tier, and working toward moving into the yellow tier, is critical to our local economy. Please continue to wear face coverings and practice physical distancing.
If your small business could use some assistance, I’m happy to report that last week the Board of Supervisors agreed to allocate a second round of funding for businesses that may have missed the last month’s deadline. If you own or know of a small business that has not already applied, visit the Placer Shares website to learn how to submit an application now. Sharing these Federal funds to help sustain our small community businesses is important to all of us who live and work in Placer County.
Please don’t hesitate to contact my office if you have questions or need any assistance with County issues or concerns.
– Cindy Gustafson, District 5 Supervisor
