Resident Computer Room
The Computer Room in the Tower Lower Level is open. There was a sign on the door saying it was closed, but that sign has been removed. Two people may use it at a time while practicing social distancing.
Banking
Since our BB&T branch is closed for the foreseeable future, residents are encouraged to work with family members on other banking options. Many banks have mobile banking options you can access remotely.
