Sooner and improving the economy.

We are coming off a a beautiful weather weekend after spikes in the numbers of coronavirus cases through the state.

So how has that affected local businesses?

Joining us now is chad emerson - the executive director of downtown huntsville inc.

Chad good morning.

- lots of people out this weekend.

Are there any concerns from businesses or even customers about the increase in cases?

- we are entering the third week of the amended "safer at home" order, what buying / consumer trends are you seeing?

Are more people coming back to visit local retailers and restaurants?

Skepticism?

Precautions taken?

Quarantine fatigue or just a general lack of more uniformity in wearing masks and social distancing?

Are we getting more lax out there?

- you look at states like utah and oregon putting off reopening amid spikes in cases.

Are there any signs we opened too soon or is that out of the question?

- what's next for your group as we still try to maneuver through these uncertain times?

- of course the protests from the last couple of weeks were conducted downtown.

Any fallout from that at all?

Chad emerson - the executive director of downtown huntsville inc.

Chad good morning.

Thanks for joining us pause
