What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Jeremy McPike reported on the $165 million City Hall renovation project. The renovation is scheduled to finish in fall 2028, but a 10-week delay was caused by unexpected asbestos found during construction. The cleanup of the asbestos cost $3 million from the project's contingency funds. While currently within budget, the depletion of contingency funds presents a financial challenge for the project.

The renovation timeline is of interest to local residents and businesses that rely on the Market Square garage, which provides 180 parking spaces. City staff will provide an update later this year regarding whether the project will require additional funds.
