Princeton Mayor Spencer Coyne said municipal employees will still attend work and no one will be working from home.

The office has enough space to maintain appropriate social distancing space, he explained.

Coyne stressed the public works department remains open, and will respond to after-hours and emergency service requests.

Members of the public who have inquiries or need to conduct business with town hall should make an e-services request through the town’s website, or contact staff members via phone or email.
