OSWEGO – Mayor Billy Barlow announced today Oswego City Hall and all city offices will re-open on June 8 after being closed due to COVID-19 since April 2.

Oswego City Hall will re-open with a different format than pre-COVID-19.  All transactions and interactions will be limited to the first floor only where a lobby and help desk will be set up to facilitate your transaction with all city departments.

Citizens must enter through the West First Street or West Second Street doors, must sanitize their hands upon entry and must be wearing a mask. Citizens not wearing a mask will not be served.

City Hall will be open from 9 a.m. to noon pm, 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Social distancing markers will be used and enforced.

“I’d like to thank Oswego residents for being patient and understanding while City Hall was closed,” Barlow said. “City government was proactive in preparing for the shut down, uploading all documents to the website and establishing a user friendly system to best serve our residents remotely. We still encourage residents to avoid coming to City Hall, but we believe now is an appropriate time to re-open and resume full service. I’d also like to thank all city employees and department heads for getting creative and quickly adjusting to working remotely while still providing quality service to our constituents.”

City of Oswego residents are still encouraged to conduct as much city business as possible online at www.oswegony.org[1].  Prior to the COVID shutdown, city government uploaded most documents, applications, forms and permits on the city website.

The Oswego Common Council also recently approved establishing on-line bill pay that will be established in the coming days.  The City Hall help line will remain in service at 315-343-4990.

All city government meetings, including Common Council meetings, will continue to take place remotely.
