Our office will be opened January 28th from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Please use caution as our parking lot and sidewalks are not completely clear of the snow and ice. Crews worked hard to clear them but this frozen stuff is like concrete and really hard to move. As always we are just a phone call away if you prefer to stay home we can still help.
