What it does

Your City Hall visit may face ongoing construction delays. The restack project (moving departments and renovating the building) will continue, potentially affecting access and services at City Hall during 2026.

The bigger picture

City spending on the project grows to nearly $30 million total. The final cost for Phase 3 reaches $29.6 million, pulling resources from the city budget that could go to other services.

What to watch

Cost overruns suggest project may face further delays or increases. The $103k increase signals the project is already running over original estimates, and final costs could exceed the new cap if more problems appear during construction.

Official summary
