Administrative offices closed to public amid coronavirus concerns
On Wednesday, March 18, Highland County Emergency Operations Center Public Information Officer Branden Jackman said in a news release that Greenfield announced the third floor of City Hall was closed to the public, effective immediately. That includes the offices of the city manager, public service director, finance office and the water and sewer department.
The city manager’s office, public service director, finance office, council clerk and the building department can be reached by calling 937-981-3500. The city manager can be reached by email at citymanager@greenfieldohio.net. The public service director can be reached by email at glewis@greenfieldohio.net. The finance office can be reached by email at csnodgrass@greenfieldohio.net. The water and sewer department can be reached by calling 937-981-2082 or by email at bgiffin@greenfieldohio.net or kpatton@greenfieldohio.net, the news release said.
In addition, water payments can be deposited in drop boxes located on the first floor of City Hall or in the alley directly behind City Hall.

Forms such as baseball and softball sign-ups, permit applications, ACH forms, contractor registrations, etc. may still be picked up in the foyer area of the third floor along with envelopes for each. Cash payments must be placed into the water and sewer drop boxes.
Jackman said Highland County Court, located on the second floor of Greenfield City Hall, will conduct business as usual unless it later makes another announcement.
In Hillsboro, similar actions have been taken and most city offices are closed to the public, but local news media have listed contact information for citizens needing to contact officials there.
