County offices and the health department both resume regular business hours Thursday, Nov. 12, according to a county news release issued Monday, Nov. 9, and the department's closure notice.
The Reno County Courthouse in downtown Hutchinson has been lit green since Wednesday, Nov. 4, and the lights stay on through Veterans Day as part of Operation Green Light for Veterans, a nationwide initiative led by the National Association of Counties.
The county's release says the initiative aims to show support for veterans and raise awareness of the challenges they may face after returning to civilian life. This is the third year the county has taken part; Citizen Journal reported on its second year in November 2025.
The county's release states: "Residents are encouraged to join the effort by displaying a green light at their homes or businesses as a simple but meaningful way to recognize veterans and show their support."
