Public Advisory on the Status of City of Marshall Parks and Trails

 

Marshall, MN – March 31, 2020 –  As a result of Minnesota Governor’s Executive Order 20-20 Directing All Minnesotans to Stay at Home, the City of Marshall is providing further information on use of its parks and trails by the public.

According to the Governor’s Order, individuals may engage in outdoor activities ( e.g., walking, hiking, running, biking, driving for pleasure, hunting, or fishing),and may go to available public parks and other public recreation lands, consistent with remaining at least six feet apart from individuals from other households.

All City of Marshall parks and trails remain open so the community can engage in self-directed outdoor exercise (walking, biking) while following social distancing and personal hygiene guidelines.

The City notes for the public that family members not showing symptoms of COVID-19 in the same household may play together. According to the CDC, children should not have playdates with children from other households. If children are playing outside their own homes, it is essential that they remain 6 feet from anyone who is not in their own household.

When visiting the parks and using trails, we ask you to please: 

·          Park equipment is not sanitized . Use at your own discretion.

The City asks you to follow these recommendations to support the health and safety of our community. Thank you for your cooperation.

Tell the Minneapolis Fed: COVID-19's impact on your business

Due to continued stress related to the COVID-19 outbreak, the  Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis  is attempting to gauge the economic effects on businesses across the Ninth District, a region that includes Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, parts of Wisconsin, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 

 

Please take this  5-minute survey  to help the Minneapolis Fed better understand business conditions at your business at this critically important time.  All responses are anonymous.   This week’s survey is due at noon on 4/3 .  

 

This  survey  will help the Minneapolis Fed better understand the outbreak’s effect on individual firms as well as local, regional, and state economies more broadly. This, in turn, will help the Federal Reserve System shape monetary policy designed to help businesses weather this economic shock.  Because this is an evolving situation, this survey will be an ongoing effort – bi-weekly for the time being, and less often as economic conditions settle.

 

If you get this survey from multiple sources, please respond to the survey only once.

Minneapolis Fed thanks you for your time and valuable insights. Survey results are available upon request. 

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About the $2 Trillion

Funding Package Passed to Respond to the Coronavirus Pandemic

On March 27, Congress passed and the President signed into law a $2 trillion package that will send assistance to Minnesota families, workers and small businesses to address the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. It also significantly bolstered the ability of hospitals and health care workers to deal with the coming surge in need for health care services. Here’s how it will help.

How much will Minnesotans receive in Stimulus payments?

·         Most households with incomes under $150,000 ($75,000 for singles) will receive $1,200 per adult and $500 per child from the Department of Treasury.

·         Payments will phase out for those with incomes between $150,000 and $198,000 for couples (the phase out starts at $75,000 for singles). Couples whose incomes exceed $198,000 will not be eligible for payments.
