ReOpen Brenham-Washington County Partnership
Businesses reopening to the public are encouraged to participate in the ReOpen Brenham-Washington County Partnership. Businesses agree to the guidelines below.
Businesses are encouraged to stop by the Visitor's Center (in the Barnhill Center/Simon Theater complex) to pick up a laminated copy of a 'Welcome Back' sign to post at your entrances showing that you are a ReOpen Partner and the protocols you are following to protect your customers and employees.
