FRAMINGHAM, MA — Mayor Charlie Sisitsky is announcing that Friday hours will change at Framingham City Hall.

The change, which will be indefinite and go into effect on Dec. 30, will close City Hall on Fridays an hour-and-a-half earlier, moving closing time from 2 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. The change will not affect the service hours of any other day, and will remain as follows:

  • Monday, Wednesday, Thursday from 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
  • Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.

The only building that will be affected by these modified hours will be City Hall, officials said. The Framingham Public Library, Branch Library, Department of Public Works offices, police station, fire station, Callahan Senior Center, parks and recreation offices, and all other city offices will keep their current hours.

"After discussion with staff, division heads, and the City Council, I am announcing the modified Friday hours for City Hall offices. While we will close earlier on Fridays, we will continue to remain open until 7:00 p.m. on Tuesdays for residents and business owners to receive services after working hours. It is our belief that these modified hours will help keep us competitive as a 21st century employer," said Sisitsky.
