Inkster City Hall is closed

All city offices in Inkster have been closed and will reopen when the latest orders have been lifted by the Michigan Department of Health.

City Clerk Felicia Rutledge posted the officials notice last week notifying residents of the closure "in response to the rise in COVID-19 cases and per Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services order."

Inkster residents are encouraged to use the outside drop box for water or tax payments and can continue to mail in any payments due the city. Information is posted on the city website, www.cityofinkster.co.

When the order is lifted and city offices reopen, all visitors to city hall will be required to wear a mask and the number of individuals allowed in the city buildings will be limited. The city will also be practicing social distancing measures and maintain 6-feet of space between people at all times, the notice stated.

The police and fire and first responders in the city will remain on duty to protect the public, but will also be wearing masks and attempting social distancing whenever possible.

Inkster City Hall is located at 26215 Trowbridge, Inkster.
