New hours for Town Hall

Starting Monday, Aug. 1, Town Hall will be open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. In addition, Town Hall will remain open until 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month.

For 20 years, Town Hall has been open every Tuesday night until 7 p.m., but in a letter to the Board of Selectmen, Town Administrator Tim Bragan said that Tuesday evening business at Town Hall has diminished. Bragan said that the new hours will provide more public daytime access to Town Hall without increasing the number of hours that Town Hall employees work per week. Bragan added that additional Tuesday evening hours will be added in the spring when excise tax bills are due, and in June when transfer station and beach sticker purchase visits are high.
