Greenville Essential Services for State Wide Safer at Home Order (COVID-19 Update)

On Tuesday, March 24, 2020, Governor Tony Evers issued State Wide Emergency Order #12 the Safer at Home Order.

Essential Governmental Functions means all services provided by the State, tribal, or local governments needed to ensure the continuing operation of the government body and provide and support the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Each government body shall determine its Essential Government Function, if any, and identify employees and contractors necessary to the performance of those functions.

Our Town Hall, Public Works & Parks administrative offices remain closed for in-person general day-to-day business. Our facilities will remain closed for the duration of the State Wide Emergency Order.  Town staff are available to communicate with interested parties by phone or email service needs. Please use the following list of contacts to have your questions or service needs met.

First responders, emergency management personnel, emergency dispatchers, court personnel, jurors and grand jurors, law enforcement and corrections personnel, hazardous materials responders, child protection and child welfare personnel, housing and shelter personnel, National Guard and military, and others working for or to support Essential Businesses and Operations are categorically exempt from this Order.
