Cancellations added to list

By Melinda L. Lucas

After the governor announced earlier this week that some businesses can open back up under certain restrictions, there will be fewer stores and offices closed after Friday.

Also, restaurants will be able to reopen their in-house dining facilities at 50 percent capacity on May 1.

Remaining closed until Phase II of the governor’s plan are hair and nail salons, barber shops, gyms, and bars.

The News was not able to contact all businesses and organizations before this week’s deadline. The list will be updated as reports come in.
