(Michigan City, IN) - COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted from government buildings in Michigan City.

Under an executive order, Mayor Duane Parry announced that City Hall and other government buildings would reopen to the general public without making an appointment. The decision goes into effect on Tuesday, February 22. Meetings of the city council and other governing bodies will resume in-person meetings beginning February 28.

The restrictions were imposed in response to spiking COVID-19 cases over the past several weeks in La Porte County. Case numbers are now on a significant downward trend around the state, including LaPorte County.
