Macon community center reopens

Macon County’s Robert C. Carpenter Community Building will begin to open under limited capacity.

Macon County has determined that to keep community spread minimal, the main building will remain closed, but the gymnasium will open on a scheduled basis for recreational sports programs. Cleaning and sanitizing will occur before and after scheduled activities of commonly used entrance and exit doors and other high-touch surfaces like seating, equipment, and restrooms. Showers and water fountains will remain closed.

The multi-use room will be open for one stop voting and will follow all proper social distancing and cleaning guidelines. For more information about one-stop voting, please contact the Macon County Board of Elections here: http://maconnc.org/board-of-elections.html

Outside facilities including ball fields, parks, and outdoor spaces are open to the community so long as they are following social distancing guidelines including wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing, and frequent handwashing and sanitizing.
