JOHNSON COUNTY—There was a lot of excitement surrounding the total solar eclipse. With that came lots of preparations, not only from a safety standpoint, but also for local businesses in the line of totality.
For her Franklin shop alone, they bought about 75 gallons of milk in preparation for the eclipse as well as several dry goods and food items in order to meet the demands of the projected crowds downtown, but those crowds downtown didn’t come and it caused her business to take a loss. Kosky says Johnson counties plan all along was to have multiple events taking place across the county. That way no one area was overcrowded or would cause backups.
Locals in Johnson County were told to treat the eclipse like a snowstorm. The governor even issued an executive order to support the anticipated needs of Indiana’s emergency response, transportation, communication, and critical infrastructure systems due to the expected high number of visitors traveling to the state to view the total solar eclipse.
