EXCITEMENT GROWING AS DCRP WORK PROGRESSES The picture for the Downtown Campus Reinvestment Project came into focus during an exciting tour of the construction site on Aug. 18. Our Mayor Jerry Weiers, City Councilmembers and city staff toured the site, where beams, walkways, office space, stairs, the City Council dais and other features are taking shape in the modern, enhanced structure. The project is a 6.5-acre transformation of the City Hall campus, which includes Murphy Park. City Hall was originally completed in 1984. Our City Architect Eddie Garcia shared details of the design and planned amenities, while accompanied by employees from Okland Construction and Holly Street Studio, the construction and design team that is reconstructing the building. This reinvestment in our downtown aims to promote a resilient civic campus for our community over the decades to come. About 300 city employees will work in the newly reconfigured City Hall on a regular basis. It’s estimated the development will be substantially complete by mid-April 2026, when employees will start to move into the renovated site. Enhancements at Murphy Park will likely be complete a month later. For more information on the project and a link to the construction web-cam, visit the DCRP webpage.
