Leesburg Changes Town Hall Operations, Remains Open for
Business
Residents encouraged to conduct business online as much as possible.
Leesburg, VA (March 25, 2020) – Beginning Thursday, March 26, 2020, public access to the
Leesburg Town Hall will be limited to the first floor, except during public meetings.
Under the new operation procedures:
The receptionist desk in the lobby is closed. Signs will direct visitors to the Finance
Counter and the Town Manager’s Office.
Access to the upper and lower levels of the building is restricted to staff only.
The Finance Counter will be open normal hours to accept Town payments.
Land development plans and permit applications can be dropped off at the Town
Manager’s Office. Plan Review and Planning & Zoning staff will be available to answer
questions, but the 2nd floor plan intake counter is closed to the public.
The Town Manager’s Office will accept and date-stamp bid documents.
During public meetings in either the 2nd floor Council Chamber or the lower level conference
rooms, the public will have access to those rooms, but staff will enforce social distancing
protocols. Members of the public are encouraged to watch public meetings on the Town’s local
government access cable channels (Verizon FiOS 35 and Comcast Xfinity 67) or the Town
website (www.leesburgva.gov/webcasts).
“We are striving to maintain normal operations as much as possible, while still protecting both
our staff and the public from undue risk of exposure to the coronavirus,” explained Kaj Dentler,
Leesburg’s Town Manager. “We appreciate everyone’s cooperation as we work together during
this difficult time.”
