Our city is at a crossroads—do we continue investing in our current City Hall, or do we embrace a new, modern space that meets the needs of our growing community?
Project Summary
The City Hall currently supports a staff of over 150 personnel from multiple departments.​
Over the years, the City Hall building underwent multiple small renovations due to various departments moving in & out of the building.​
In 2019, the current and future program was assessed. The assessment examined the latest ADA codes, sustainability considerations, and future expansion needs.
