Community got ready for a total shutdown
Saturday March 14 was the last day that the libraries were open. The state's wine and spirits stores were open until Tuesday, March 17. The governor asked non-essential businesses to close their physical locations and too few complied, so he ordered a statewide shutdown.
Though newspapers were deemed essential, give Print's leadtime we know we can't get you up-to-the-minute information in a time like this, so we are closing and limiting our own movement to help limit the spread of the disease.
