On May 8, the Department of Community and Economic Development released information pertaining to the approved business exemptions provided to businesses that could offer life-sustaining services or conduct life-sustaining activities across the Commonwealth.
“Over the past eight weeks, Pennsylvania has been focused on protecting public health while balancing the needs of our commonwealth’s businesses, and ensuring that those providing life-sustaining services and products can continue operations,” said DCED Secretary Dennis Davin. “While other states also enacted business closures, Pennsylvania was one of the first states to create an exemption process and offer an opportunity to those businesses that believed they could be of service to public health and safety. I appreciate the patience of Pennsylvanians as we worked through the exemption review process. As we begin the process of our measured, data-driven, phased re-opening of counties, we look forward to seeing the economy slowly reopen in a safe and strategic manner.”
The list is provided in response to a subpoena issued by Senate Republican Committee members.
