BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — City of Battle Creek buildings will remain closed to the public in January, and public meetings will take place virtually through March 31, 2021.
“From our city team, to all our neighbors, a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy December, and a very Happy New Year,” officials said in a statement.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, city leaders have closed buildings to the public for the safety of staff and visitors. Residents can still conduct business with the city by phone, via the drop box in the City Hall parking lot, by email, and online at battlecreekmi.gov.
Governor Whitmer signed legislation this week to amend the Open Meetings Act, allowing the city and others to hold virtual public meetings through March.
