Pamela J. Bucci, Town Clerk/Collector/RMC
Shelley O'Hern, Deputy Town Clerk
While we are working our way through the COVID-19 pandemic and our new social distancing
reality, the Rush Town Hall has been closed to the public since March 19th. During that time my
office has been open for business via telephone, e-mail, fax and the US mail. Beginning June 1,
we are open an an appointment only basis. All are encouraged to continue to use those
avenues until there is a definitive plan of opening the Town Hall doors to the public. We are all
doing our best to following the changing times.
Please call my office if you have questions. If I am otherwise engaged, please leave a message
so that I may answer you at another time. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The Rush Town Clerk's Office takes pride in serving the community and work hard to give town residents the prompt and courteous service. We look forward to helping residents with government needs.
