The Civic Center Complex will reopen to the public on Monday, June 15, 2020, at 8 a.m.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, several restrictions and safety precautions will be in place.
Visitors will be required to wear a face covering and have their temperature taken. Anyone with a temperature above 100 degrees will not be permitted inside the building.
There is additional signage on floors to encourage social distancing of six feet apart and new capacity limits — two per cart — on public elevators.
Plexiglas protective shields have been installed in security screening areas, the lobby and high-traffic departments.
Building Authority staff will continue cleaning and disinfecting high-touch areas several times throughout the day. Public restrooms are being cleaned multiple times per day. Meeting rooms, restrooms and other high-traffic areas of the complex have been professionally disinfected.
“As we reopen the building, safety and public health remain our top priorities,” said Mayor Lloyd Winnecke. “These new measures will provide a sense of assurance for those needing to do business with local government.”
The Civic Center closed in March after Mayor Winnecke and the Vanderburgh County Commissioners issued an emergency proclamation at the request of County Health Officer Dr. Kenneth Spear.
“While the Civic Center was closed, essential government work continued non-stop,” said County Commission President Jeff Hatfield. “Providing residents access to their government is an important symbol of reopening our community.”
Residents are still encouraged to use online and over-the-phone government services when applicable. A list of online City services can be found at evansvillegov.org/onlineservices. For more information about online County services, visitvanderburghgov.org.
