With the changing of each year, LNP | LancasterOnline staff compile a list of trends and events that could impact the county. Â
Looking back at our story on trends at the start of 2020 is like looking in a time capsule in some ways, with trends focused largely on development â from new Rutters and Sheetz to the Rock Lititz expansion to projects in Lancaster city â and on education and health care trends that had nothing to do with distance learning or COVID-19. Instead, school start times and student privacy were the burgeoning local stories.
If we learned anything in 2020, itâs that we canât fully predict what will be news in unprecedented times. That said, we have taken a look at some of the trends and events LNP reporters will be covering in 2021. Hereâs our list.
Weary business executives reacted with anger and frustration to Gov. Tom Wolfâs decision on Thursday to temporarily close restaurants, gyms, theaters and certain other businesses in hopes of slowing the spread of COVID-19.
The shutdown, which starts Saturday and runs until Monday, Jan. 4, bans indoor dining at restaurants, which had been allowed to operate at 50% capacity, although takeout, delivery and outdoor dining are still permitted.
The order also closes gyms, theaters and other facilities, but lets stores continue to operate at 50% of capacity.
Al Duncan, CEO of the company that operates Miller Smorgasbord and Smokehouse BBQ & Brews, called Wolfâs order âvery unfair and very unjust,â wondering why stores were excluded from the shutdown and restaurants have to go dark again.
