Effective Wednesday, March 18, Clackamas County is temporarily closing many of its buildings to the public. The action will be in effect until at least April 6.
This action has been taken by the Board of County Commissioners to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and best protect the health of the public and county employees.
During this time, Clackamas County will remain open for business to the greatest extent possible. The goal during this time is to provide services virtually to the public as much as possible.
Courts and law enforcement are remaining open on a limited basis. Many county employees have been instructed to telework from home.
The Board of County Commissioners’ Business Meeting this coming Thursday, March 19, is still scheduled for 10 a.m.Residents are encouraged to participate digitally.
Many departments and public-facing services continue to operate virtually, and will have staff available by phone during normal business hours.
