Vestavia purchases property for new City Hall

In late November, Mayor Butch Zaragoza announced the purchase of two properties for the new City Hall.

The former Food World site was acquired for $1,150,000. The former Joe's Ranch House site on Mayland Lane was acquired for $825,000. Williams Blackstock Architects will design the facility and B.L. Harbert will serve as construction manager.

“The construction of a new City Hall accomplishes many goals for the City beyond meeting organizational space needs," the mayor said in an official release. "It will serve as a catalyst for new development along the Highway 31 corridor."

With the closing of the property a schedule is underway that could result in the completion of a new facility by August 2015. The project is slated to begin in the spring of 2014.
