New York Reopening
New York has ordered that all construction can resume in all regions throughout the State, now that all regions have met the New York Forward Plan health metrics established based on guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Department of State, and other public health experts. The Governor’s previous Executive Order banned any non-essential construction except for emergency construction. Residential and commercial construction is now permitted to resume, and as of June 9, 2020, all ten State regions have achieved the New York Forward Plan Metrics necessary to reopen (see link below). Please note that all construction work, including any work that was deemed essential and allowed to continue under the prior ban, must be performed in strict compliance with the State’s requirements for workplace safety (see links below).
