needed to be addressed. The roof was sagging, the building did not meet seismic codes, and the HVAC and electrical systems were out of date. The city hired the firm RATIO to design plans for both a new city hall and a renovated city hall. The firm concluded that renovating the building would cost $18 million dollars and building a new building could cost $18.5 million.
Just as Citizens for a Downtown City Hall came together to petition for a new structure, this time Paducah-McCracken County Growth Inc., a non-profit organization, came in to save the iconic structure. In 2015 Paducah-McCracken County Growth Inc. invited James Mason, a Knoxville geotechnical engineer, to review the structural needs of the building. Mason concluded that the work that needed to be addressed was seismic reinforcement and repair of the sagging roof. He estimated these repairs could be completed using modern techniques for $3.3 million— significantly less that than the original estimates.
In 2017, Paducah City Hall was recognized for its historic significance. The then Downtown Development Specialist, Melinda Winchester, applied for the Paducah City Hall to be added to the National Register of Historic Places. This designation opened up the ability for the city to apply for Kentucky historic preservation tax credits.
Using this funding as well as money from the city’s general funds and solid waste reserve funds, the city was able to complete what is known as Phase 1 of the City Hall Rehabilitation project. The work was completed through an architectural and engineering contract with Marcum Engineering. Phase 1 work included the roof, concrete overhang, facade, heating and cooling systems, and windows and skylights.
The rehabilitation efforts were unveiled on May 2, 2019. In November 2019, Preservation Kentucky recognized Paducah for its preservation efforts and excellent use of the state’s historic preservation tax credit. The years ahead will write the next chapter of this unparalleled municipal building.
