City Hall's Renovation Journey Continues
Reimagining a historic structure for the future
The once-in-a-generation City Hall Improvement project is well underway. Late last year, staff from the historic building located at 21 S. State St. relocated to two City-owned properties. The City Manager’s Office, Human Resources Department and City Council Clerk, as well as the Community Affairs; Customer Service; Economic Development and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Divisions are now located at 310 W. Main St. The Finance Department joined Utility Billing and Planning and Development at 64 E. Walnut St.
Upon reopening, City Hall will provide community members with a centralized customer service experience, reducing the need to visit multiple buildings to conduct City-related business, such as paying utility bills, purchasing facility passes or applying for a permit. Additionally, the City's presence in Uptown will be notably smaller, creating opportunities for non-governmental expansion and supporting the thriving business community.
The Westerville Division of Police and Mayor’s Court moved from their 30-year location at 29 S. State St. to the Justice Center, located at 220 Huber Village Blvd., in 2022. The City retained ownership of the former Police building as part of the centralization plan. These two buildings will be connected by a bridge, facilitating easy movement and collaboration for both the community and City staff.
