The City of Xenia announced that its Administration Building will be closed for a two‑day period beginning Friday, Nov. 6, to allow crews to install a new backup generator. The closure will extend through Monday, Nov. 9, with the building slated to reopen on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
Impact on Residents and Visitors
During the closure, the front and back parking lots adjacent to the administration building will be inaccessible to the public. Residents who normally park in those lots for city services are advised to seek alternative parking nearby or use street parking where available.
Reason for the Work
The new generator is part of the city’s ongoing effort to modernize critical infrastructure and ensure reliable power for essential municipal functions. City officials explained that the upgrade will provide a more dependable backup power source in the event of outages, protecting city operations and public records.
What Services Remain Available
Although the administration building will be closed, most city services will continue to operate from other locations. Residents can still reach the city’s 311 call center for non‑emergency inquiries, and any urgent matters can be directed to the city’s emergency contact numbers, which remain active.
How to Stay Informed
The city will post updates on its official website and social media channels throughout the project. Residents are encouraged to follow the City of Xenia’s Facebook and Twitter accounts for real‑time information about the reopening schedule and any additional changes.
Looking Ahead
City leaders view the generator installation as a proactive step toward strengthening the community’s resilience. By ensuring that critical municipal functions have reliable backup power, the administration aims to safeguard essential services for all Xenia residents.
