Dearest Community,
It is during times like this that we must come together and remain resilient. In times of uncertainty and crisis, we often show our true strength as people and as community. I am thinking about you all as we watch, each day, the toll that COVID-19 is taking on our neighbors, friends and relatives.
I want you to know that Hennepin County continues to work hard for the sake of all of us. As new updates arrive by the minute from the CDC, MN department of health and others, my goal is to keep you all informed and up-to-date. Please follow our official District 4 Facebook page and Twitter account for the latest which you will also find within this newsletter.
I want to share sincere thank you to our first responders, our healthcare workers our grocery store clerks and others who are taking such good care of us during this pandemic.
Lastly, please stay safe and healthy. Practice social distancing and stay home.
The county board in the coming weeks will be meeting virtually and we are working on ways for you all to continue to watch live to stay abreast of county business.
Sincerely,
Commissioner Conley and the District 4 team.
