City of Richmond issued the following announcement on Feb 8.
Effective Wednesday, February 16, the cash operations counter at the East District Initiative building will be open to the public only on the first and fifteenth of the month from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., when the counter typically experiences the most traffic.
If the first or fifteenth falls on a weekend or holiday, the counter will be open the next non-holiday or weekday.
Altered hours will be in place until further notice. The change is due to short staffing. If you would like to explore the many quality job openings at the city’s Department of Finance, click here.
