Ask The Mayor: Crawfordsville's Todd Barton On The Arrival Of COVID-19

WBAA

Montgomery County began announcing their first confirmed cases of coronavirus this week. What measures has the city of Crawfordsville put in place to keep residents healthy and at a distance—and how are residents on day two of Indiana’s statewide stay-at-home order? As COVID-19 continues to spread, how does local government reinforce that staying at home, or staying at a distance, is key?   

This week in our talk with Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton, we’ll discuss how the city’s economy and long-term economic development plans might be affected by the novel coronavirus outbreak. How can the city help small businesses and residents who’ve lost their jobs?

Plus, why officials cautioned county residents not to believe rumors and trust reliable sources of information on COVID-19 containment. And the mayor has a message for city golfers.
