September 28th Update
I, much like many of you, am excited to see that the Governor has moved the state to Stage 5 of his “Back on Track” plan. While this is a positive move, it still does have its restrictions. The mask mandate is still in effect throughout the state and the Governor asks that everyone continue to social distance when possible.
I want to thank you for your efforts in containing this virus and together we can continue to reduce our numbers. It does not take much effort, regardless how inconvenient it may seem, to do your small part in this overall large scheme.
I will continue to ask that you be respectful and/or tactful when addressing another person about mask concerns. As in the past, the Greenfield Police Department will not be enforcing the mask mandate but will however respond to disturbances that develop over said mandate.
Remember that a businesses or organization may refuse service to any individual who refuses to wear a mask. If you are asked to leave an establishment, please do so in a courteous manner. Refusal to leave when asked could be treated as Criminal Trespass, with legal ramifications.
Any calls or complaints about individuals not wearing a mask or businesses not requiring patrons to wear a mask should be directed to State or County Health Departments.
Thank you.

Mayor Chuck Fewell
