Salem Brings City Services to Residents with ‘City Hall to Go’

Mayor Dominick Pangallo announced today the launch of ‘City Hall to Go’ – a mobile program that brings city services directly to residents. While Salem's City Hall is physically located at 93 Washington Street, many community members have never stepped foot inside the building. With ‘City Hall to Go’, residents throughout the city have access to a wide variety of services and can connect with employees from many City departments, right in their neighborhoods.

‘City Hall to Go’ has already popped up at the Community Life Center during Heritage Days and Palmer Cove Park during the Back to School Fair. ‘City Hall to Go’ will be showing up to offer city services everywhere from neighborhood block parties to wellness fairs at the Community Life Center, from the Farmer's Market to community events at Espacio, and from Salem State University to Salem school activities. The schedule varies every month and is shaped, in part, by interest and requests directly from Salem residents themselves.

Not only are the locations varied, but every version of ‘City Hall to Go’ is different, because it is tailored to the neighborhood and event. For example, family friendly events might give kids at the event the opportunity to be able to get library cards and check out books. Attendees can learn about and apply for job openings with the City of Salem, or apply for a volunteer role on one of the City’s many Boards and Commissions. At some ‘City Hall to Go’ pop-ups, participants can pay city bills, apply for permits or licenses, or register to vote. The ‘City Hall to Go’ team especially enjoys bringing along family friendly activities for kids to enjoy while residents access city services!

‘City Hall to Go’ services are available in English and in Spanish.

There are many possibilities and the offerings can be largely customized according to the event. Any residents or community groups organizing a public event are encouraged to reach out and learn more about inviting ‘City Hall to Go’ to their event. Visit us at https://www.salemma.gov/togo or reach out at mayor@salem.com to apply to have ‘City Hall to Go’ at your event!
