The Town Hall will be closed on Monday, January 16, 2023 due to the Martin Luther King Jr. federal/state/town holiday.

Also, since the day falls on a regular monthly meeting night, the Town Commissioners monthly meeting for January will be held on TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2023 at Town Hall commencing at 7:00 pm!

Please be advised that the Town Commissioners of Pittsville have approved a time change for their monthly meetings. Effective immediately, ALL MONTHLY TOWN MEETINGS will commence at 7:00 pm instead of the former time of 7:30 pm.
