Riverblock Closed to the Public Due to COVID-19
Wisconsin Rapids, WI – As COVID-19 continues to impact us locally, the Wood County Riverblock Building will be closed to the public effective Monday, April 6, 2020. This is being done to preserve the health and safety of our staff and clients while continuing to maintain the ability to provide essential services, including our response to COVID-19.
“This decision was difficult to make as we know the services provided by Wood County are important for many community members. Services will continue to be provided through alternate avenues, but at this time we are reducing our direct contact with the public,” stated Douglas Machon, Wood County Board Chair.
Staff are available by phone for appointments and questions. Direct lines for each department in Riverblock who interface with the public are listed below.
Health Department: (715) 421-8911 Human Services: (715) 421-8600 Land Conservation: (715) 421-8475 Parks & Forestry: (715) 421-8422
