The City of Johnson City will reopen the Finance and Development Service lobbies of the Municipal and Safety Building on Monday, Oct. 5.
The reopening will be conducted in conjunction with public health guidance to safely allow in person interactions while mitigating the risk of new COVID-19 cases. Screening measures, including temperature checks, will be in place at all entrances and masks will be required. Visitors to City Hall are asked to follow posted signage and follow directional signage.
