Municipal Building Reopening:
Public Entry Procedure
 
The Cranford Municipal Building is now open to the public but we strongly encourage visitors to call or email ahead and make an appointment. This will guarantee the person you wish to see is available and limits the number of people in the building. The health and safety of our residents and employees remains our highest priority. To that end, the building, including high touch surfaces, will continue to be cleaned daily and it is important that we remain mindful of our responsibility to safeguard our residents and employees. We appreciate your cooperation.
