Dothan’s city commissioners approved a $55 million deal to find a new place to stay — right across from the Houston County Courthouse.
City Manager Randy Morris said the city hall project was a big part of revitalizing downtown Dothan. The project also includes an annex, the details for which expected to appear at a coming commission meeting.
The project is expected to take about 18 months to complete with construction beginning in summer.
Several months of design have led to the agreement with Brasfield and Gorrie finally appearing in a multi-million dollar deal.
The city secured the funds through a loan with Regions Bank, who provided a fixed interest rate which is projected to save the city over $3 million.
All departments in the Civic Center will move to the new location.
The city acquired nearby land and structures for the new campus.
