COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Columbus city employees and officials honored the several hundred lives lost to COVID-19 in the Fountain City with a memorial ceremony Tuesday evening.

Ahead of Tuesday night’s Columbus City Council meeting, the City Manager’s Millennial Roundtable (CCMR), partnered with Mayor Skip Henderson and city council for a COVID-19 memorial honoring the 310 lives lost in Columbus due to COVID-19.
