Westland City Hall and all city administrative offices will remain closed until at least next Monday, Dec. 20.
The offices are closed in response to restrictions from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and were closed by officials Nov. 17 in response to the State of Michigan “three week pause” which required limits on indoor gatherings and prohibited in-person work which can be done from home. Administrative Offices will remain operational with a limited staff, according to an official statement from the city.
Residents are encouraged to utilize the city online services at www.cityofwestland.com during this time. Contact information for city departments is also listed on the city website and city staff members will be responding to emails and voicemails as quickly as possible.
There are also two drop boxes located in front of city hall for residents to drop off payments and paperwork which will continue to be checked daily.
Essential government services that will continue include public safety, utilities, animal control, housing and building departments, sanitation (including trash collection), and finance.
The extension also includes the temporary closure of the Jefferson Barns Community Vitality Center, the Friendship Senior Center and the Mike Modano Ice Arena to the public.
The Westland Public Library was closed temporarily but re-opened at a limited capacity last Monday. The 18th District Court remains open.
