Wharton-Smith team members joined representatives from the City of Ocoee to celebrate the new Ocoee City Hall’s groundbreaking. See more pictures.
The project team is constructing a neoclassical three-story, 46,000-square-foot structural steel and brick building. The $17.2 million project will include site work and area development for a five-acre site in downtown Ocoee. It will feature new commission chambers and expanded facilities for their utilities, city planning, accounting, human resources, executive, and legislative departments.
The project is part of the City’s master-planned development for its downtown area, which features streetscape improvements, lakefront rejuvenation, public parks, and civic amenity spaces. It is intended to reinforce the City’s commitment to enhancing civic life for its citizens while reimagining how essential services are provided for a positive and enduring customer experience.
”To give the community the best and most efficient City Hall possible, the team has put in a lot of long days during the 16-month design phase,” Senior Project Manager Randall Ellington said during the ceremony. “The outcome will be a beautiful and effective City Hall that the citizens of Ocoee can be proud of for generations to come. So, I will expect to see you all here again in the Spring of 2022 at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Now, let’s grab our shovels and get to work!”
