“Our staged approach to opening Town of Zionsville parks facilities is based on Governor Holcomb’s Back on Track plan and CDC guidance,” said Park Board President Tim Casady. “As we slowly reopen parks facilities, we remind residents to stay vigilant about protecting themselves and their families.”
The Town of Zionsville is currently fully staffed. As health experts recommend the gradual reopening of businesses and other operations, Town leadership and public safety are outlining the phased plan and protocols for reopening Zionsville Town Hall.
“We have taken the Governor’s guidelines and plan into account as we move forward with our plan, as it fits Zionsville,” said Mayor Emily Styron. “Since March, Town of Zionsville staff have been working remotely as necessary and we haven’t skipped a beat. We appreciate all the work the community has done so far but we are not in the clear yet. We continue to balance the health and safety of our community and our employees with the balance of reopening our facilities and allowing activities to take place.”
