From increased crossing training of employees and curbside services helping residents to meal deliveries to seniors and coordinating with businesses on when and how to reopen the economy, Pinal County communities are navigating their way through the COVID-19 pandemic and all its impacts.
That was the focus of a virtual forum this morning hosted by the Pinal Partnership economic and community development group.
City managers from seven Pinal County cities and towns shared best practices and major challenges during the Zoom forum moderated by Rose Law Group Founder and President Jordan Rose.
Todd Pryor, town manager of Superior, said local businesses were included early in the Arizona town’s response to the Coronavirus. Pryor said a business and community task force has been set up to help navigate COVID-19 including when to reopen.
“We’re a small town. It’s easy for us to reach to everyone and get them on board,” Pryor said.
Superior has a population of approximately 3,000.
Coolidge, Apache Junction, Eloy and other municipalities continue to conduct inspections of construction and development sites all with proper social distancing.
