Thanksgiving is Thursday and many may be sticking local and forgoing family gatherings because of the coronavirus.
Be that as it may, localities in the Historic Triangle have adjusted their schedules — government employees get to have time off and enjoy their turkey, too.
Before heading out the door, make sure to be aware of county and city offices that are closed along with changes in schedules.
Williamsburg
City offices will be closed Thursday, Nov. 26 and Friday Nov. 27 in observance of Thanksgiving Day. Any city bills can be dropped off in the 24-hour bill drop box located in front of the Municipal Building or pay online.

Trash, leaf, and recycling pick-up is unaffected. For water emergencies after hours and on holidays, the city urges residents to call 757-220-2331 or visit the public works webpage for more information.
