Hi everyone.
Joe J here. I called or stopped into every Main Street business this week and this is what I learned: several are open in some sort of limited capacity. The following list is by no means complete and I will update this as the situation unfolds. If you and/or your business is not listed, please call or email and I will get you added. Most of our restaurants are offering carry out or to go for now. Please stop by, pick up or call for delivery if available.
