ARLINGTON (WBAP/KLIF)- The City of Arlington has partnered with Tarrant County, the Texas Rangers, Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce, Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau and Downtown Arlington Management Corporation to provide protective masks for free to employees at Arlington businesses and restaurants. These 250,000 masks, which will be distributed to businesses on a first-come, first-serve basis, were generously provided by Tarrant County to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect the most vulnerable in our community. Jay Warren with the City of Arlington says it’s part of phase one to reopen back up and they want to make sure all employees have what they need. “Peferably we would like the owners to come through or a representative from the restaurant to get the supply for their entire staff,” said Warren.
Distribution of the masks will be conducted by drive-thru delivery at Texas Rangers Parking Lot R through the R1 entrance off Cowboys Way
Between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 6, 2020.
