Seventy-seven (77) of the total Bedford cases have already recovered and have come off of isolation and there may other Bedford residents who would be considered persons under investigation in that they are symptomatic, have undergone testing but have not yet received results. There are other individuals impacted by COVID-19 in the community who have not sought medical attention, and/or have not been tested and are isolating at home regardless. Those individuals do not appear on the surveillance reports the Town receives from the MA DPH.

Tomorrow! Reopening of Town Hall and the Department of Public Works by Appointment Only

Tomorrow, Monday, June 15, Town Hall at 10 Mudge Way, and the Department of Public Works, 314 The Great Road, will reopen to the public on an appointment-only basis. Town Center Building, 12 Mudge Way will remain closed to the public until further notice. The Bedford Free Public Library looks to begin curbside book pick up the week of June 22nd.

Beginning tomorrow, residents will be able to call, or e-mail, each department to schedule an appointment. No more than 10 residents will be allowed into the building at one time, and residents will be required to sign-in, for contact tracing purposes. Residents are encouraged to accomplish services online, if possible.

Town Hall may look at bit different, as the building has been equipped with floor markings for social distancing, anti-bacterial sanitizer stations, and Plexiglas barriers. Hallways have been marked using one-way arrows.

For those coming to Town Hall, please use the front entrance with the ramp to enter Town Hall, and side doors will be used for exit-only.

Each department offers a myriad of services online. Need a building permit? Residents and contractors can now log-online to register your project and receive an e-building permit. Need to pay your taxes? Our online payment system is easy and instant. Or! If you prefer to pay in person, the Town has a secure lock box outside the front doors of Town Hall that is checked multiple times a day.

We appreciate everyone’s collective patience as we navigate this new world of municipal services and reopening. We are looking forward to reopening Town Hall, and DPW, on Monday, and happy to help with any questions

Stay healthy, and wash your hands as often as possible!
