Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan thanked the City Council for passing an ordinance requiring people to wear face masks in most public places.

Tuesday evening, the Fayetteville City Council unanimously passed an ordinance that requires residents and visitors in the city to wear face masks in most public places including businesses. The measure also includes $100,000 in funding to provide support to businesses that are adapting to the new rules during the pandemic. The council also passed an emergency clause, which means the ordinance goes into effect immediately.
