(LFUCG)–The Fayette County Clerk’s office will temporarily close and cease all operations due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Fayette County Clerk Don Blevins, Jr. said, “I completely support and agree with Mayor Gorton’s decision to limit local government to essential services. We are entering a time where it is crucial to limit the transmission of COVID-19, and this is an important component of our strategy.”
