Description: Designed to include some 20 offices to accommodate all city offices on one campus, a new Republic City Hall is being built adjacent to the city’s Builds public works building. The hub for municipal operations will also house Republic City Council meetings and offices. Project officials say the building will include a grand entrance and public lobby leading to city hall chambers and public services located around the central area, according to past Springfield Business Journal reporting, which notes the plan is for city staff to occupy the building by the end of 2025. The city is not taking out a loan or pursuing other funding sources for the project, which it has saved for over the course of a decade.
