Greene County and New York State businesses have seen a major impact since Governor Cuomo announced that all non-essential businesses will remain closed until further notice. However, businesses that are deemed essential are remaining open with restrictions on how much you can buy, how many people can enter the building, and their business hours. Our local community is strong and there are many ways to help our businesses remain open after the pandemic.
