ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – With Orange County now under a stay-at-home order for more than three weeks, many locals are itching to get back to work and wondering when the economy that’s been shut down by the coronavirus pandemic will reopen.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said he doesn’t have a timeline or template for what that process will look like, but officials are one step closer to figuring it out.
On Friday, he unveiled the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force, the nearly 50 members of which come from theme parks, banks, hospitals, hotels, nonprofits, the small business sector and other crucial industries in Orange, Lake, Osceola and Seminole counties.
