Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, all Town of Gorham Municipal Facilities will be closed to the public for a period of at least two weeks in an abundance of caution due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. This closure is for all municipal facilities, but includes the Baxter Memorial Library, Gorham Town Clerk’s Office, Gorham Recreation Department, Robie Gym, Old Robie School, Shaw Gym, and the Little Falls Activity Center. All Gorham Recreation Programs including before-and-after care will be cancelled during this period and will be reevaluated after two weeks. Gorham School Department Offices in the Gorham Municipal Center will also be closed to the public.

Municipal staff will continue to work to support our citizens during this closure period. Many services from our Clerk’s Office can be conducted online on the Town’s website. Other business with Town departments can be conducted via email, over the phone or through the USPS.

For more information on specific contact information for our departments, please visit this webpage.

We continue to encourage residents to obtain the latest information from the Maine CDC and U.S. Centers for Disease Control. We also recommend taking precautionary measures like a person would for a cold and the flu. Examples include staying home when you are sick, covering your cough and sneeze (into your arm), and practicing good handwashing with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds. Residents and visitors to Gorham can stay informed of our efforts at www.gorham-me.org.

The Town of Gorham will continue to work closely with other agencies to provide additional updates and information as it is available and applicable.
