City offices will remain closed Wednesday because of the weather, Mayor George Flaggs Jr. said.

Flaggs announced the Wednesday closure about 11 a.m. Tuesday. He said the  Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting which would have been held  Tuesday will be Thursday at 10 a.m.

He said the decision to close was made out of concern for the safety of city employees.

“People should stay inside, but if they have to go out I want to remind people to be extremely careful on the roads,” Flaggs said.
