Bedford Town Hall And Department Of Public Works Will Reopen For Public-Appointment Only

Press release from the Town of Bedford:

June 12, 2020

On Monday, June 15, Town Hall at 10 Mudge Way, and the Department of Public Works, 314 The Great Road, will reopen to the public on an appointment-only basis. Town Center Building, 12 Mudge Way will remain closed to the public until further notice. The Bedford Free Public Library looks to begin curbside book pickup the week of June 22nd. More to come!

Beginning Monday, residents will be able to call, or e-mail, each department to schedule an appointment. No more than 10 residents will be allowed into the building at one time, and residents will be required to sign-in, for contact tracing purposes. Residents are encouraged to accomplish services online, if possible.

Town Hall may look at bit different, as the building has been equipped with floor markings for social distancing, anti-bacterial sanitizer stations, and Plexiglas barriers. Hallways have been marked using one-way arrows.

For those coming to Town Hall, please use the front entrance with the ramp to enter Town Hall, and side doors will be used for exit-only.

Each department offers a myriad services online. Need a building permit? Residents and contractors can now log-online to register your project, and recieve an e-building permit. Need to pay your taxes? Our online payment system is easy, and instant. Or! You prefer to pay in person, the Town has a secure lockbox outside the front doors of Town Hall that is checked multiple times a day.

We appreciate everyone's collective patience as we navigate this new world of municipal services and reopening. We are looking forward to reopening Town Hall, and DPW, on Monday, and happy to help with any questions!
