Municipal offices closing, reducing access.

Municipal offices in Mason County are either closing or reducing access to the public.

Both the City of Ludington and the City of Scottville have announced that their city buildings are now closed to the public until further notice. Anyone needing city services in either city, or who had a previously scheduled appointment, should contact the appropriate official first: Ludington, 231-845-6237; Scottville, 231-757-4729. 

The decision is at the recommendation of District Health Department #10, Governor Whitmer’s Emergency Declaration and other local public safety officials.

Business may be conducted via U.S. Mail, phone call, the night drop-box or online at www.ludington.mi.us or www.cityofscottville.org. The night drop-boxes will be processed continually. Copies of bills and invoices can be mailed or emailed upon request. 

Pere Marquette Charter Township officials are asking all payments of yard waste/trash/brush, and parks be made over the phone (231-845-1277), by mail (1699 S. Pere Marquette Highway, Ludington, MI 49431) or by drop box at the township hall, with the request that foot traffic in the township hall be reduced to a minimum.

The Mason County Courthouse and other county facilities will continue to operate with restrictions. The county’s courts have closed to non-emergent business (see related article). The county board of commissioners is asking that all nonessential visits to county offices be delayed at this time. The front lobby of the Mason County Jail will be closed to the public.

This information, like most information during this pandemic, may change quickly. Keep watching MCP for changes.
