Dresden to shut town office until April 1

Tue, 03/17/2020 - 2:30pm

Dresden selectmen plan to adopt a coronavirus protocol at their Tuesday, March 17 meeting. Town Administrator Michael Henderson said the town office will be closed to the public Wednesday, March 18 until Wednesday, April 1. That closure may be extended, he said. “Most things can be done online,” said Henderson. He said vehicle re-registrations can be done online as well as tax payments which can also be paid by mail.

Election of a first selectman is still scheduled for Tuesday, April 7 pending the virus situation, said Henderson. Four candidates are running to fill out the rest of Trudy Foss’s term. Foss is resigning. 

The Tuesday meeting will be held without the admission of the public, said Henderson.

“It will be a quick meeting. We will be mainly discussing the corona policy,” he said.
