Portage to close city buildings amid COVID surge

City departments will be open by appointment only beginning Monday, November 16.

The City of Portage has announced that it will close its buildings to the public beginning next Monday.

The move comes as the number of new COVID-19 infections surges throughout Kalamazoo County and as other local governments have closed their own buildings to the public.
