As the response to COVID-19 has evolved on the federal and State levels, so has the response locally.  Effective Wednesday, March 18, 2020 the Town of Erving will be taking the following actions:

All non-essential offices will remain closed to the public and non-essential staff will not report to work.  The following offices will remain closed:

  • Erving Senior & Community Center

  • Erving Recreation Office

These offices have regular updates regarding programs and services on the Town website (www.erving-ma.gov) and on their respective Facebook pages.

  • The Erving Town Hall will remain closed to the public and some offices will maintain availability by phone and e-mail. The Town Hall drop box is still available for individuals to drop off paperwork.

Public Meetings

Public Meetings have been reduced and in compliance with Governor Baker’s executive orders, essential meetings will transition to a video and audio conference format.  Further guidance will be made available on the Town of Erving website (www.erving-ma.gov).  Staff will be in contact with applicants requiring public hearings to discuss next steps.
