Here is the public statement from the County Executive. Mayor Peeler joins the County Executive in his disappointment with this revelation. We will forward the information as it becomes available.

Statement from Montgomery County Executive Matthew L. Ossenfort Regarding Phase Two Reopening We were notified tonight during the Mohawk Valley Control Group meeting that Phase Two of the reopening process will not begin tomorrow, despite the fact our region is well within every metric needed to move forward. 

I am shocked and frustrated with this news. Leaders from across the Mohawk Valley have been working tirelessly to prepare and provide guidance to their communities. Many Montgomery County residents have spent time and resources preparing to reopen tomorrow and many of you have been looking forward to experiencing the simple things such as a haircut. 

We are working to gather more information regarding the Phase Two Reopening and are hoping to hear more information soon. Any new updates will be addressed during our Facebook Livestream tomorrow at 1 p.m.
