Councillors voted in favour of progressing to the next phase of the process, which will involve compiling a detailed design for the new civic centre and providing in-depth costings.
A heated debate took place at a virtual full council meeting today, before 47 councillors voted in favour of the plan and 10 against. Three members abstained.
Councillor Steve Charmley, portfolio holder for assets, economic growth and regeneration, said: The move into Pride Hill will reduce our carbon footprint, have a positive impact on the town centre economy, reduce our running costs, be an important step in delivering the Big Town Plan in Shrewsbury and create a better working environment.
