The Everett Municipal Building (EMB) on Wetmore Ave. is taking a little downtime in early June. The building will be closed from June 2 through June 15 for some much-needed electrical updates. But don't you worry; it's business as usual, minus the in-person bit. The city staff and services that typically call the EMB home will still be reachable online, over the phone, or at other spots. And yes, there'll be signs slapped onto the EMB to guide any lost souls during the shutdown.
Those itching to walk through EMB's doors again must wait until June 16, when it reopens full throttle. And when it does, Public Works staff will be settling in too, making for a packed house aiming to simply and—quite literally—power up your city dealings. According to an announcement released on the City of Everett's website, this renovative shake-up promises to not only boost the dependability of the building's vital systems but also to establish the EMB as a "one-stop-shop" for City services. The move's designed to save some cash and make life easier for the locals.
For the curious and the concerned, a visit to the City of Everett's official release at the City of Everett offers up the more gritty details on the closure and how to keep in touch with EMB staff and services. So, mark your calendars, and maybe bookmark that link, because no one likes standing in front of a locked door, especially when there's paperwork to be tackled.
