Charlevoix SOS office relocating,

New office to benefit customers, staff with improved features
CHARLEVOIX, Mich. — The Charlevoix Secretary of State office will be closed for several days this month as it moves to a new location nearby that features customer-friendly upgrades, Secretary of State Ruth Johnson announced today.
Customers and staff will benefit from improvements that include new counters, new paint and carpeting, and a more central location with a greater number of parking spaces.
The office at 5951 Loeb Road will be closed as of Monday, June 24, and staff will complete the moving process on Friday, June 28. The office will reopen at 9 a.m. on Monday, July 1, at 185 M-66 in the Captain’s Corner Shopping Center in Charlevoix, less than a mile northwest of its current location.
Office hours remain unchanged: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
“Moving the Charlevoix office to a new location is part of our mission to provide convenient services to customers while using taxpayer dollars efficiently,” Johnson said. “Area residents can do many timesaving transactions with us online but if they have to visit, they will benefit from this improved office.”
