April is Autism Awareness Month and Goldsboro is helping to promote understanding and awareness support for those with autism. Many downtown business owners who are supporting autism awareness are setting out blue lights in the storefront windows, wearing blue t-shirts and setting out blue table cloths. The city even changed the water color in the fountain to blue!
