Middletown Coronavirus Updates: City Hall Remains Closed

MIDDLETOWN, CT — In an update Friday, officials said that City Hall will remain closed to the public until further notice due to the new coronavirus pandemic. Mayor Ben Florsheim previously announced that City Hall would be closed to the public until at least March 27. Officials say an announcement will be made when City Hall reopens.

The city’s essential employees are working both on-site and remotely to “ensure that city government continues to function,” Florsheim said at the time of the original closing of City Hall.

“Services that are essential to the health and wellbeing of our city and residents – like police, fire, trash collection, and essential maintenance – will continue with no interruption,” Florsheim said. “There will be a temporary halt of all non-essential, non-statutorily mandated inspections, permits and the like.

“We ask that residents utilize mail-in and online services for paying taxes, registering for summer programs, parking tickets and other payments. Updates to the city website are underway to reflect the current status.”

Services requiring in-person appearance, such as obtaining certain vital records, may be scheduled by appointment by contacting the Mayor’s Office at 860-638-4801.
