Town Hall Safety Protocols

Middle Township takes measures intended to increase security and minimize foot traffic

Visitors to Middle Township’s Town Hall will now be greeted by a staff member who will buzz them in and
help route them to their destination.

The added safety measure is part of a two-phase plan to tighten security and reduce the number of people walking through buildings as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

Cameras have been installed at the front door of Town Hall, as well as the entrances of the Zoning and Construction and Public Works buildings to help monitor visitors. Visitors to Town Hall will now be required to use the main entrance on Mechanic Street. Residents are encouraged to continue using drop boxes outside buildings for payments, permits, and paperwork.
