Calhoun County Battle Creek resident Joel Fulton addressed the Board of Commissioners on Dec. 3 to urge local leaders to consider relief for small businesses and restaurants affected by recent state-ordered COVID-19 closures.
Fulton said the closures risk long-term harm to small businesses and asked for relief measures. Commissioners Tommy Miller, Chair Steve Frisbie and Rochelle Hatcher acknowledged Fulton'9s concerns and expressed sympathy; no formal motion or follow-up task was recorded in the meeting minutes.
