    Norwich Human Services, Youth and Family Services offices moving next week

    Norwich — Norwich Human Services' Adult and Family Services and Youth and Family Services offices are in the process of moving and the phone systems for both will be inoperable until Wednesday.

    Human Services' Adult and Family Services division will move to the second floor of City Hall, across from the city clerk’s office, and the Youth and Family Services division is moving to the Recreation Department building, 75 Mohegan Road, across from the city-owned tennis courts. Phones and computers at the former location at 80 Broadway were shut off Friday.

    Both divisions will be closed Monday and Tuesday for the moves, and are expected to return to full service on Wednesday. Their phone numbers will be the same, (860) 823-3778 for the Adult and Family Services division and (860) 823-3782 for Youth and Family Services.

    The moves were ordered in the 2017-18 city budget to eliminate use of the building at 80 Broadway, the original 19th century home of Otis Library. The city issued a request for proposals Sept. 14 for purchase and development plans for the building, due Oct. 20.

    Now that the building is vacated, open houses for interested developers will be held from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday next week and Oct. 2 and 3.
