St. George leaders break ground on new $45 million city hall that will alleviate overcrowding.
St. George Mayor Michelle Randall, center in blue, leads others in a groundbreaking ceremony for a new city hall, Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2023.With construction now afoot on a new $45 million city hall, St. George officials and workers will soon get more space and won’t be shoehorned into closets or cramped spaces.
When the existing city hall was constructed in 1980 at a cost of $3 million, Randall said she was an eighth-grader. Obviously, she noted, a lot has changed since then — not only for her but also for the city she now presides over. For starters, St. George’s population over the past 43 years has exploded from roughly 13,000 to more than 100,000. In the same time span, the number of full-time city employees has increased from 100 to 847. The city also employs another 500 part-time workers.
The council chambers will see double, perhaps even triple duty. When not in use for council meetings, city officials say, the chamber can be converted to a community room, a training center or a space for public forums. The three-level city hall will also feature a 4,350-square-foot indoor “civic space” at the ground level that can be used to host events, including art and other exhibits.
While the new city hall represents an exciting new chapter in St. George’s history, officials there don’t want to close the book on the past — not without a historical nod to what has gone on before. For instance, the address of the facility at 61 S. Main pays homage to the year 1861 when Brigham Young sent 309 families to settle in the area.
