Paris, Tenn.–Henry County General Government offices including the Courthouse, Courthouse Annex, Airport, Central Building, Recycling Center and Henry County Health Dept will be closed on Friday, January 19, 2024 due to continuing winter weather
Mayor John Penn Ridgeway said, “Due to road conditions expected in the morning throughout the county and Northwest Tennessee, I have made the decision to close county offices on Friday. Parking lots and sidewalks remain hazardous due to a layer of ice below the snow. The extreme cold temperatures will cause any thawing to refreeze overnight.”
Ridgeway wants to remind everyone, the county commission meeting has been rescheduled for Monday, January 22. County offices including courts will resume regular hours on Monday January 22.
The Recycling Center is asking customers to please consider holding their recycling till next Monday when staff will be present to process. Material left on the ground can be blown by wind which can make it more difficult to clean up.
Republic Services also announced county trash pick-up will not run on Friday or Saturday due to the weather and streets being hazardous. Pick-up will resume on Monday as well. Republic will work to get all customer caught up as soon as possible.
Community Warming Shelter at Inman School will remain open through Monday Morning. It is located at 400 Harrison St, Paris.
