Willmar City Council on July 17 made the official decision to allow Willmar Municipal Utilities to pursue constructing new facilities without a new city hall building at the same location.
Willmar City Council on Monday rejected the only bid it received for remediation of lead and asbestos from the building or demolition. The city plans to give the public tours of the building in August.
The city hall and community center location debate continued at a July 10 work session, with City Administrator Leslie Valiant offering new options to consider: Skylark Center or Block 50
Although Willmar City Councilors were excited about proposals for a new and improved community center, they were not impressed with site proposals for a new city hall presented at a recent council work session. City staff will continue to work with BKV Group to find a city hall site that is appealing to the council.
