"While we understand today is St. Patrick’s Day and many of you had celebrations planned at your businesses, the health and safety of our community should be everyone’s first priority. The City of Rochester strongly encourages businesses to honor the spirit of this executive order early and to minimize large gatherings prior to 5 p.m. today. We understand that small businesses are being hit hard by COVID-19 responses, but we hope you will consider the broader community when operating your business today." -Steve Rymer, City or Rochester Administrator
