Dear Friend,
- North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper clarified the provisions of Phase 2 of the state’s re-opening plan, which went into effect at 5 p.m. Friday. Under the revised order, breweries, wineries and
distilleries will be permitted to re-open, provided they
comply with reduced capacity and social distancing requirements.
- An
updated Frequently Asked Questions document on Phase 2 is available here.
- On
Friday President Trump announced houses of worship as essential
services that must be permitted to remain open for the duration of the
COVID-19 crisis. In accordance with this order, the
CDC has issued updated guidance for communities
of faith to help them operate while keeping their
congregations safe. You can learn more about the guidance here.
- The
IRS has announced that more than 4.82 million North
Carolinians have received their CARES Act stimulus payments so far, with
the payments totaling more than $8.26 billion. These
payments continue to go out at a rate of millions of dollars a day, and as
a reminder, you can visit IRS.gov for answers to the most common questions about
eligibility and timing.
- The
state government has partnered with the North Carolina Restaurant and
Lodging Association to launch Count on Me NC, a free online training program that
will help restaurants, hotels and other businesses and attractions reopen
while keeping customers and employees as safe as possible.

- New Hanover County has announced
that additional county services will reopen starting on Tuesday, including
curbside library service and park shelter reservations. More info from the NHC government here.
May
you and your family have a safe and blessed Memorial Day weekend as we remember
all of those who fought and died to preserve our freedoms and the principles
that made this country great.
