COVID-19 Office Protocols August 27, 2020

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

The Marlboro Town Office will remain closed to the public until further notice.  This protocol is in place to limit exposure for our Town Officers from possible infection from COVID-19.  Our one-room office space makes social distancing difficult with more than two people at a time.  

We remain at work Monday through Thursday and will respond to questions as quickly as possible.  Contact by email is preferred, but leaving a message on our answering machine (802) 254-2181 or corresponding via paper mail is also fine.  We encourage use of the municipal website marlborovt.us for contact information for Town Officers, resources, and online payments.

Anyone wishing access to the town’s records should contact Town Clerk Forrest Holzapfel marlborotownclerk@gmail.com  Research and full title searches are possible by appointment.  Many records can also be sent digitally in advance of research.

Municipal public meetings will continue to be held on their regular schedule via video-conference.  Zoom links and call-in numbers are posted on public meeting agendas outside of the Town Office and on the website. The public is welcome to attend these video meetings.
