 County employees have stepped up in ways large and small to aid in the community’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some have worked from home, others from a remote location. All are doing what’s asked of them in the face of an unprecedented crisis.
As employees begin returning to their workplaces, eScoop will get back to its twice-monthly publishing schedule, sharing the information you need. But for this issue, and future ones, we’ll also continue to share the stories of our County heroes.
