While City Hall is closed and only essential employees are at the office, our key staff remain available, many from their home offices via telephone and email, to ensure business continues to the greatest degree possible.
While the Governor’s Stay-at-Home order remains in effect, the City will continue to follow the social distancing recommendations of the Virginia Department of Health so that we can protect our staff and our clients.
A focus on Neighborhood Development
The City has received numerous questions about the development process, building permits and inspections. These topics will be the focus of today’s broadcast of Cville360 at 4 p.m. A panel of five City employees will share information and respond to the community’s questions about our adjusted business practices during the pandemic.
