As an extension to Mayor Hedlund’s emergency declaration last week and in accordance with new guidance from Governor Baker and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH), the town is taking the following measures at this time. These measures are being taken in an effort to balance the ability to continue to provide important services and to protect the health and safety of the residents of Weymouth. These measures can be extended, shortened, or changed as the town receives additional guidance from the state and federal government.
As of the close of business on Monday, March 16, 2020 services and closures are as follows:
TOWN BUILDINGS/OFFICES
**ALL Weymouth Town Buildings will be closed to the public until at least Monday, April 6**
This includes Town Hall, the McCulloch Building/Senior Center, the DPW Building, the Teen Center, and all Public Libraries. Access will be limited to staff only.

Essential services will continue but are subject to change as circumstances change.

Additionally, residents can utilize the existing drop box located outside of Town Hall for payment of bills. Any envelope-sized documents directed to Town Hall departments may be left in the drop box. Staff will be available by phone and email in all departments during regular business hours to provide information and answer questions.
