City hall for East Palestine makes its move
EAST PALESTINE —The new City Hall is operating at the former McCamon Insurance building on North Market Street, and it’s business as usual.
The city shut down its operations Jan. 2 to make the move from the Captain Taggart Building to the new site and recently started providing services there, officials said.
Although the new building, which is between Fuller’s True Value and Threshold Open Door Opportunities, is unmarked, city officials intend to place a sign on the structure to let the public know where the new municipal offices are.
The building houses offices for the city manager, clerk of council, mayor and building and zoning inspector. The utility bill payment area is located through the front door of the building, There is also a drop box for bill payment across the street near the post office. All city meetings are at the city park community center, unless otherwise announced.
Residents stopping into the building may park in spaces along North Market Street, officials said. However, the city is renting parking spaces from the East Palestine Church of the Nazarene for its employees’ personal vehicles, and there are a few spaces for city vehicles behind the building.
E-mail addresses for all city officials are the same, as are most telephone extensions. The city nurse has a new extension because her office has been moved to the Police Department. She can now be reached at (330) 426-1200.
