Statement on Federal Government Shutdown

2025-10-01 07:54 AM

We recognize that federal shutdowns can cause concern and hardship—particularly for federal employees and contractors who live and work in our county. While we do not control federal decisions, we are committed to supporting our residents as best we can throughout this period.

Our departments are closely monitoring any developments that may impact federally funded local programs. Should there be any changes that affect services such as SNAP benefits, Medicaid, or veterans' programs, we will communicate those updates promptly and clearly.

We remain in close contact with Congresswoman Sykes’ office as we monitor the local impact of the shutdown. Her office has created a helpful FAQ page to answer questions about the shutdown.

We encourage residents who are affected by the shutdown to reach out to local community support services or visit our website for updates.
