Governmental Center Closed: June 23
Due to an electrical malfunction impacting the building’s cooling system, the Governmental Center at 400 Boardman Avenue in Traverse City will be closed for the remainder of the day, Monday, June 23, 2025. The City of Traverse City and Grand Traverse County have made the joint decision to close the facility while the issue is assessed and repaired. With inoperable windows and rising indoor temperatures, conditions have exceeded safe and acceptable levels for staff and the continuity of critical IT infrastructure.
Grand Traverse County staff at the Governmental Center — including those from the Register of Deeds, the County Clerk, the Treasurer’s Office, and various administrative departments — will continue to work remotely and remain fully accessible by phone and email throughout the day.
City of Traverse City staff will be working remotely and available via email. City payments may be made online or at the red drop box at the Governmental Center.
"We appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation as we work to resolve the issue and restore normal operations as soon as possible,” said local officials. “Our teams remain committed to serving the community, even during this temporary disruption.”
Updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Please visit the City of Traverse City or Grand Traverse County websites for further contact information.
