DCED releases business exemption list for county
KAYLEE LINDENMUTH / SHENANDOAH SENTINEL - Bugden's Hair in downtown Shenandoah on May 12, 2020.
SHENANDOAH – Late last week, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development released the list of businesses which received exemptions from closure, including two in Shenandoah and dozens more in the county, primarily in the southern portion.
The county-by-county list DCED provided shows 73 Schuylkill County businesses were among the 6,123 statewide to receive an exemption. Though, eight businesses are duplicated on the list for Schuylkill County, leaving a total of 65 individual businesses on the exemption list.
Only 12 businesses are from within the Sentinel’s coverage area, including two in Shenandoah – Bugden’s Hair, 30 South Main, and Shustack’s Welding, 116 Cleveland Street.
However, a sign on the door of Bugden’s Tuesday afternoon notifies customers and passersby the business is closed “until the governor lifts the mandatory order to close all businesses.”
Other businesses receiving exemptions in our area are Gitman and Co., Evans Painting, and Payne’s Flower Shop in Ashland, Jake’s Fireworks in the Frackville Industrial Park, Gera Excavating and Wagner Industries, Frackville, JS Instrumentation and Calibration, Barnesville, CRS Powerwashing and J&S Landscape and Design, Zion Grove, and Lindenmuth Custom Sawing and Hardware near Lavelle.
DCED said nearly 43,000 businesses requested exemptions, with only 6,123 receiving them.
