Daviess County Fiscal Court is distributing approximately 20,000 3-ply surgical masks to businesses with 50 or less employees that will be able to open June 1 in accordance with the reopening guidelines from the state.
Additionally, all businesses that are currently open that have 50 or less employees will be eligible for the program, including those that have already received mask distributions. Distributions will be based on number of employees, not estimated patrons.
Beginning at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, qualifying businesses needing masks can schedule a convenient pickup time by calling 270-685-8456 or 270-685-6142.
Upon pickup for verification, businesses must provide a current copy of their Owensboro/Daviess County Occupational Business License if applicable. Units will be distributed at no charge.
The pickup location will be the Daviess County Operations Center, 2620 Highway 81, Owensboro, KY 42301.
As the number of masks is limited, distribution arrangements will be scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Any masks that are failed to be picked up will go back into inventory and a new scheduled time will need to be made by the respective business.
For questions regarding this notice, contact the Operations Center at the above numbers.
