(WGTD)---Barring a State Supreme Court ruling overturning Governor Tony Ever’s current Safer at Home policy---businesses around the state will be allowed to re-open, following certain health and safety guidelines, on Tuesday May 26th. In a Friday morning webinar titled What’s Next For Kenosha?---hosted by KABA---the Kenosha Area Business Alliance---County Executive Jim Kreuser wanted to put the brakes on people’s expectations about what will happen then. "On the 27th," he said, "we are NOT just gonna open up...wide open. That's NOT gonna happen. But, I have a feeling, depending on where the numbers are, there's a great possibility that maybe a restaurant could maybe have a few tables here or there."

The County Exec also said that business owners need to start making thoughtful and productive decisions over the next couple of weeks about how they can re-open.
