Notes
  • Significance: The $5.7 million government office building was completed in 1979. The initiation of the project began with the citizens of the community who formed a task force to improve the blighted downtown. With the approval of the City Commission, the citizens formed a Committee of 21, campaigned for a raise in the income tax and won. This money was to be used for several projects in the downtown including parking, construction of a new Police Division headquarters (in combination with the county sheriff's department), and building of a new government office building. The construction of the government building, it was hoped, would be the impetus for the redevelopment of the downtown by those businesses which were downtown already and by those who would be lured downtown by the new construction... The birth of City Hall compares in significance to the birth of Old City Building 90 years before. Both buildings were representative of a move into modern operations, were the most modern facilities for their days, were the impetus for new downtown developments, and became the central focus for citizen activities.
