Door County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Steve Jenkins is happy with the proactive measures area manufacturers have taken to keep their employees safe. Other large scale businesses in the country including northeast Wisconsin have had to slow down or even halt their operations due to COVID-19 outbreaks in their facilities. While their operations have had to be flexible due to their customers, many manufacturers have been able to keep their employees busy and safe thanks to ramped up disinfection procedures and social distancing practices. Jenkins say there are a few reasons why manufacturers are going above and beyond the normal call.

Jenkins salutes Door County’s manufacturers for being able to weather the pandemic while dedicating themselves to making sure their employees are taken care of during this time.
