Next week, all city administrative offices will be closed for Labor Day, and some offices will be closed for the annual city team picnic.
All offices will be closed on Monday, Sept. 2, in observance of Labor Day. Battle Creek Transit bus and van services will not run on Labor Day, resuming regular weekday schedules on Tuesday, Sept. 3. Waste Management – the city’s trash, recycling, and yard waste hauler – also is closed on Monday. This will result in a one-day service delay the rest of the week.
