The City Council could approve an amendment to its contract with Plenary Properties Long Beach, LLC Tuesday to speed up the tear-down of the old building as Plenary works to complete construction of the new Lincoln Park, and find a new partner to develop the “Mid-block” site where the old City Hall is located.
While the park is expected to be completed by the end of 2021 “barring any unforeseen delays,” the demolition of the old City Hall building could stretch into 2022, according to a Jennifer Carey, a spokesperson for the city’s public works department.
Demolition work on the building could begin in the next few months and would likely be a drawn out process like the one the city undertook to clear the old courthouse so the new port and City Hall structures could be built.
