Cumming extends city building closings

"During the extended closures, city of Cumming employees will still report to work whenever possible and continue to conduct city business via telephone and/or email while practicing social distancing, stringent hand-washing, and other good hygiene measures while at work," according to a city announcement.

Public access to city buildings are by appointment only and only for "absolutely necessary" in-person meetings. For contact information: https://bit.ly/2K1x9ZK
