The Town of Smyrna is reopening Town Hall to the public, effective Monday, June 1, 2020. Modifications have been made to ensure the safety of citizens and personnel. Citizens will continue to have the option of conducting business online, by phone, or by mail.

“Our decision-making is guided by maintaining the safety of our citizens and personnel,” explained Brian D. Hercules, Town Manager. “We have safeguards in place to ensure adherence to the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as Governor Lee’s Tennessee Pledge, while we conduct business and deliver services to our citizens.”
