Rensselaer, IN – City offices in Rensselaer will be closed this Thursday and Friday as the community prepares for the Thanksgiving holiday. Residents across Jasper County and the surrounding northwest Indiana region are being advised to plan ahead for the two-day pause in municipal operations.
According to a public announcement from the City of Rensselaer, all administrative offices will close on Thursday, November 27, and Friday, November 28, 2025. The closure aligns with the annual Thanksgiving observance and affects in-person services, phone support, and general city business.
City officials noted that regular operations will resume on Monday, December 1, 2025, at standard business hours. Essential public safety services—such as police, fire, and emergency response—will continue uninterrupted throughout the holiday period.
The city encourages residents to complete any time-sensitive paperwork, utility inquiries, or permit needs before the closure takes effect. Trash pickup schedules were not mentioned in the initial notice, and residents may want to verify pickup timing with their local provider if typically serviced on Thursdays or Fridays.
Businesses, commuters, and residents are also reminded that some regional government offices and state-run agencies throughout Indiana may follow similar holiday schedules, which could affect access to licensing services, court operations, or county-level offices across Jasper County.
City leaders extended holiday well-wishes to the community, urging residents to enjoy the long weekend safely and responsibly. With increased holiday travel expected throughout the state, officials also encourage drivers to monitor traffic and weather conditions from Wednesday through Sunday.
