Fresno City Hall, shuttered for most of the past 12 months because of the COVID-19 pandemic, will reopen partially on Tuesday.
The city announced that the Panning and Development Department will offer limited in-person appointments on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
However, city council chambers will not be open for its Thursday meeting. City Council President Luis Chavez says an air filtering system is still being installed and may not be ready in time.
Chavez is targeting an April 22 return date.
