PORTLAND - Town Hall could re-open to the public as soon as the last week of May.
The building has been open only on a limited basis for more than a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, First Selectwoman Susan S. Bransfield told the Board of Selectmen recently she hopes to re-open the building on May 24.
The re-opening will depend on two factors, Bransfield said: whether the pandemic loosens its grip and whether the Town Hall staff gets vaccinated.
