Yorktown Offices Closed to Visitors; Public Meetings to be Online Only

(December 20, 2021) – Yorktown’s municipal offices will be closed to visitors and online-only public meetings will resume in response to rising COVID-19 cases.

Effective Tuesday, December 21, anyone doing business at Town Hall or other Town offices must call or email town staff. The policy will remain in effect until the first week of January, at which time Town officials will reevaluate the decision.

“These actions are common-sense responses designed to protect the health and safety of the public and our employees,” said Supervisor Matt Slater. “I ask everyone doing business with our Town to have patience and understanding. We are still open for business by phone and email.”

In addition to the no-visitors policy at municipal offices, the John C. Hart Memorial Library will resume porch-pick-up only and patrons are not allowed inside the library.

Since early November, Yorktown has experienced a significant increase in COVID-19 cases, according to the Town’s COVID-19 dashboard on the Town’s website. On December 16, the number of active COVID-19 cases was as high as the number of active cases on February 9—a period when most of the Town’s population was unvaccinated.
