The Town of Amherst is pleased to announce the reopening of your Town Hall and other municipal buildings to the public on Tuesday, June 1st in alignment with guidance from the State of Massachusetts. Amherst Town Hall will be open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM starting on June 1st.
We are committed to the health of our community and staff, so in the initial weeks of our reopening there will be certain safety protocols in place that we ask all visitors to be aware of. Masks will be required to enter our buildings. If you do not have a mask, a staff member will provide one.
There will be a single point of entry for all those wishing to visit the Town Hall. We ask that you enter from the Main St. entrance, where a staff attendant will greet you and assist you to your desired location within the building. If there is a queue at the particular service window you are visiting, please remember to maintain physical space from the other visitors in line.
At this time, public meetings will continue in the virtual format until further notice. You may access our public meetings calendar by clicking here.
If you have any questions regarding public access to Town Hall or other Town facilities, please contact the Town Manager’s Office at (413) 259-3002 or by email at townmanager@amherstma.gov
