Albany businesses need support
By Kathy Thomson
Throughout Texas and most of the nation, only businesses considered essential are allowed to be open, and even those must abide by social distancing rules, causing many stores in Albany to be locked for the duration of the shelter in place order. However, that does not mean that they are not operating at all.
Many are accepting orders online or by phone. Many of the businesses have a website and/or a Facebook page that allow customers to view items for sale.
