(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Government buildings will open back up to the public soon under COVID-19 restrictions.

The facilities will be open to the public by appointment only starting Monday under a unanimous decision Wednesday by the La Porte County Commissioners.  Someone will be at the door to direct people where to go to conduct their business, officials said.

La Porte County Commission President Rich Mrozinski said COVID-19 numbers are back down again and a lot of people will need access to the buildings soon to take care of matters like property tax payments.  “In my mind, we think we need to open the buildings,” he said.

At some point, officials said access to buildings without restrictions will follow as long as the COVID-19 numbers continue to going down.
