From staff reports

ALBANY — Updated weather forecasts for southwest Georgia indicate freezing temperatures will continue in the region through Thursday, so the opening of the Albany Transit Center as a warming shelter will continue until Friday morning.

The city, as part of what it has dubbed Operation Safe Place, is opening the newly opened transit center to citizens looking for a safe place to sleep when temperatures reach the freezing point.

The center, located at 300 W. Oglethorpe Boulevard, will continue to serve as a warming center Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 6:30 p.m. until the start of business at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings.

Water will be provided at the center.
