Granbury Takes Leadership Roll With COVID-19 Mask Program for City, County
Granbury, Texas – The City of Granbury and the Visit Granbury office have taken a leadership role in the wearing of facemasks in Hood County with today’s launch of a multi-pronged promotional campaign to help bring back tourism while emphasizing the importance of COVID-19 protection.
