(LaPorte, IN) - The city of LaPorte is also working on reopening its economy.  Social distancing restrictions on retailers are in effect until early May. They could be extended but they might not be.

Mayor Tom Dermody says the entire business community is being approached about doing what’s needed to safely do business once the restrictions here are lifted. Requirements could include wearing masks and gloves. 

It’ll be up to the city council to decide whether to extend what’s called “The Retail Responsibility Act set to expire in less than two weeks."
