New Haven City Hall Opening By Appointment

Governor Holcomb announced moving Indiana to stage three of the back on track plan. With that shift, we will open City Hall to the public but by appointment only beginning on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. Whenever practical, these meetings should take place outside or in a communal area to decrease the potential of contaminating multiple areas. All areas where appointments are to be held, will have hand sanitizer, and wipes available as well as markings to promote social distancing.

When we shift to stage four, city facilities will open without restriction. Currently this is planned for Monday, June 15, 2020. All public areas will continue same sanitization and social distancing protocols mentioned above in stage three. City Council, Board of Works and other meetings will be open for public attendance. We will continue livestreaming public meeting to provide access to citizens who do not want to attend in person.

We continue to encourage everyone to remain proactive and prepared. As a reminder all essential services of the city of New Haven continue to operate including our 911 dispatch center, Police, Fire and EMS. If you have an emergency call 911.
