• Oneida County is working with MV EDGE to put together a consortium buy for PPE, specifically masks. They hope by putting together a big enough buy they will be able to drive down the cost per unit. Much like the recently published business impact survey, they have developed a survey tool to help estimate demand. Responses are due by close of business Monday: https://lfweb.ocgov.net/Forms/ConsortiumMaskBuy
