Waiver request window for non-life-sustaining businesses ends Friday
The window to request an exemption under Gov. Tom Wolf’s closure of nonlife-sustaining businesses will close Friday at 5 p.m., state Department of Community and Economic Development officials said.
The physical locations of those businesses were ordered to close on March 19, but the state has allowed owners who believe their business performs a life-sustaining function to apply for a waiver to remain open.
As of Tuesday, the DCED received 32,474 waiver requests, the agency reported. Those requests are being answered via email, the DCED noted.
Applications for a waiver and guidance as to which businesses are considered life-sustaining are available on the DCED’s website, https://dced.pa.gov/.
