Sullivan County Town Hall, Library, Transfer Station Closed Monday; Warming Station Open

Town Hall staff shifted to remote work Monday after the town announced that anticipated weather conditions would close Town Hall, the Library and the Transfer Station. The Safety Services Building was designated as the town's warming station for residents in need of shelter or assistance.

The closure was announced in a Jan. 25 news release and affected in-person services across municipal operations. Town Hall employees continued to handle business remotely and were available by email for residents who had reliable internet access. No specific email address was provided in the release; residents without internet access were directed to seek help at the warming station or call the town's assistance line at 603-763-5555.

The Library suspension meant no in-person borrowing, returns, or on-site programs were available Monday. The Transfer Station closure prevented drop-off of household trash and recycling for the day, requiring residents who had planned disposal trips to postpone until the facility reopened. The town urged patience and understanding while public safety considerations guided the decision-making.

For residents who rely on municipal services, the town’s move to remote operations preserved some continuity: administrative tasks that can be completed electronically continued, while hands-on services were paused. The warming station at the Safety Services Building provided a physical option for residents without reliable heat or internet, or for those needing direct assistance during the weather event. For immediate help, the town advised residents to make their way to the Safety Services Building or call 603-763-5555.

Local volunteer groups, neighbors and service providers in Sullivan County often coordinate during winter weather to check on older residents and those with limited mobility. With in-person municipal access reduced, community networks and family members play a larger role in connecting vulnerable residents to the warming station and emergency resources.

Officials closed the facilities to prioritize public safety and to limit travel during the weather event. The town expressed appreciation for community understanding and encouraged everyone to stay safe while conditions improve. Residents should monitor town communications for reopening notices and further instructions. For now, plan to delay in-person municipal business and use the Safety Services Building or the town assistance line if you need immediate help.
