Passport Services and Facility Rentals Coming to Edgewood Soon! -

City staff hopes to begin providing passport services at City Hall by the first of the new year.  It is likely that the service will be available 1-2 days a week in the beginning.

It is expected that fees for rental of the Community Room and meeting rooms at City Hall will also be in place around the first of the year.  The Community Room could be used for receptions, small celebrations, training session, award ceremonies and more. The Community Room also opens up into the lobby allowing for a larger space to be used. In addition to the Community Room, the City Hall has three meeting rooms, two of which can be opened up into one larger room.   Although we are not yet taking reservations, we will post an announcement to the website as soon as the final details have been worked out.  Feel free to call or email to get the status anytime.
