Due to the forecasted extreme cold weather this weekend, we are planning to make the City Center available as a warming center.

At this time, it will be open during the following hours:
Friday, 1/23: 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

I need your help. If you know or see someone who may need a place to warm up, please have them call the Police Department non-emergency line at 543-3321. They will contact me, and I will arrange for a City employee to unlock the front door and staff the center while it is in use.

Please note: There will be no overnight accommodations or shower facilities available. However, we can try to help find overnight accommodations if needed.

Thank you for helping us look out for someone in need.
