The IACC is Closely monitoring the information being shared on the Coronavirus Disease COVID 19. We will be regularly updating links Important to County Commissioners on this issue. I am so proud of the response that Indiana County Commissioners have taken to safeguard their communities during the COVID 19 Pandemic. I have heard of so many great stories about partnership of all sorts. Local, State and Federal officials are at the front lines doing their part to protect folks. It warms my heart and renews my faith in the goodness of people. Keep up the good work!
