Update to the Community from Brattleboro Town Manager Peter Elwell:
There is no longer a COVID-19 State of Emergency in Vermont.
All Town of Brattleboro government facilities have reopened for public visitation without an appointment. Some offices will still require face coverings or other special precautions until further notice. For example, masks will be optional in the public spaces throughout the Municipal Center, but anyone who needs to go behind the counter or into the vault at the Town Clerk’s Office will be required to wear a mask.
The brown mailbox that was installed in the parking lot behind the Municipal Center will remain so that people can conveniently make payments or other deliveries by depositing their sealed envelopes into the secure dropbox. Town employees will continue to collect everything in that box several times each workday.
All public meetings now are required to have a physical location, as they did prior to March of 2020. Some meetings – including Brattleboro Selectboard meetings – will operate in a hybrid format, combining both the physical location and the ability to attend and participate in the meeting via Zoom. Please refer to the specific warning for each individual meeting to know how you can participate in that meeting.
This will be my final weekly COVID update. Any future COVID updates will be issued only when needed due to some substantial change in circumstances.
Stay well,
Peter
