Marshall Mayor Bob Byrnes walked up the main stairs at the renovated City Hall during a Monday morning tour. While some finishing touches have to be put on the building, the work was complete enough for the city to do a construction walkthrough on Monday morning
MARSHALL Â Renovations at Marshall’s City Hall are close to complete, and Marshall Mayor Bob Byrnes said the project is still on time and on budget.
City staff went on a final walkthrough of the renovated City Hall on Monday, and the plan is to begin moving some furniture into the building later this week, said City Administrator Sharon Hanson.
When Rush Harris looks at his hometown of Marshall, he sees a city that is growing and thriving. He sees community leaders who are dedicated to improving the community so that residents have a better quality of life with an abundance of job opportunities.
He sees a city striving to stay on the cutting edge of technology and infrastructure to attract more business opportunities and educational systems dedicated to educating young students so they may become the business leaders of tomorrow. To be successful, you need people who are working together and who are having conversations with each other. That s the way I see our leadership and our city progressing, Harris said. It s one of the things that gives me hope about Marshall. You have people here who are talking to each other and working toward a common goal. It makes me excited about city.
