Plans to get the City of Auburn’s facilities up and running have been put in place and released to the public. 

Details of a phased reopening of public facilities and services beginning on May 20 and continuing through July 6 were announced by the City on Wednesday afternoon. Safety measures will be taken at these facilities, like social distancing, hand sanitizing stations and plexiglass installation, the City said.

The schedule of City facilities and services is as follows:

The City said the public is still encouraged to practice social distancing and contact the City through all electronic means possible.
