“As we shift into wintertime, we talked about how we’re going to work to help our restaurants work on [continuing to offer] outdoor dining,” Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon said in his Thursday coronavirus briefing at the Oncenter.

“Whether it’s tents, whether it’s heaters, whether it’s igloos, there’s lot of different things out there and obviously, we need to help our small businesses continue to operate moving forward … into the winter,” McMahon said.

The Trust “supports, promotes and protects the institutions that provide cultural, educational and recreational opportunities to the people of Onondaga County and New York State,” per the website.
