The Salisbury Township Municipal Building, 2900 S. Pike Ave., is open for business.

But don’t go rushing there right away. Appointments are recommended.

“We are welcoming visitors to the building, but we are hoping that we can make appointments,” Salisbury Township Manager Cathy Bonaskiewich said at the June 25 board of commissioners Zoom meeting.

Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Bonaskiewich said access to office areas inside the building is limited.

Protocols of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Pennsylvania Department of Health and Lehigh County are being followed.

Township offices closed to the public March 17 in an attempt to mitigate the community spread of the coronavirus. They reopened June 29.

“Township Treasurer Linda Minger will be keeping her office closed for the rest of the year,” Bonaskiewich said. “She will have a few sitting dates.” The dates for appointments in Minger’s office are to be announced.
