The East Greenbush Department for Community Services

Beginning July 3, 2009 and continuing through Labor Day, the offices of the East Greenbush Town Hall will be closed all day on Fridays. 

The action has been taken in an effort to be energy efficient and financially responsible during this period of economic downturn.  Going “dark” on Fridays will help with budgetary concerns in both salaries and energy use in the building. 

Please adjust your schedules accordingly for any business you may need to conduct at the Town Hall.  

Thank you in advance for your understanding.  Town Hall employees wish you an enjoyable and safe summer.
