Construction Changes in summer office schedule
As we transition into the fall, our office hours are once again 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you are planning a visit to the office, be mindful of the continued construction on University Ave. In addition, staff sabbaticals and transitions this summer mean that some days the office is thinly staffed. Please call our office before you stop by.
