As of June 8, 2020, the Town Hall Foyer is open to the public. Face Masks are required when you enter the foyer, remember to practice social distancing and use hand sanitizer.
During this challenging time, as we deal with the impacts of COVID-19, the Town of Union Bridge will continue to provide essential services for our residents. During this period of social distancing, the Town encourages using a telephone, email communication, and use of the “DropBox” rather than face to face interaction.
Town Council meetings, Work Session meetings and Planning and Zoning meetings will be held utilizing "GoToMeeting". Login information will be posted on the Town's website, the Town Hall Front Door and the Information Kiosk at the Town square.
If you are experiencing financial difficulty due to COVID-19 and need to discuss your water/sewer payment, please call Union Bridge Town Hall at 410-775-2711. During this challenging time, the Town will not be turning water off for non-payment. However, you will still be responsible for water/sewer payment, and it is your responsibility to contact the Clerk-Treasurer 410-775-2711 or email at unionbr@carr.org to discuss a payment plan.
