It's almost moving time for the city of Palm Coast.
Nearly one year out from the beginning of construction, the city of Palm Coast will have its final day of operation at current city offices in the City Marketplace shopping center (160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite B-106) on Friday, Oct. 23. City offices at that location will close for good at 5 p.m.
The city will then finish the moving process over the weekend. The newly built Palm Coast City Hall will open for business at 8 a.m. Monday, Oct. 26.
The city officially broke ground in October 2014 on the new facility. The city ended up building the first two phases of the building (instead of just the first phase), so the guaranteed maximum price was about $9.15 million, said Cindi Lane, communications and marketing manager for the city of Palm Coast.
There will be no disruption of service to the public during the move, Lane said.
The new Palm Coast City Hall will be a full-service facility for the public, with customer service for paying utility bills and managing utility service, permitting, zoning, code enforcement, business tax receipts and the Business Assistance Center all located on the first floor.
In addition, residents will still have the option to pay their utility bills and manage their utility service at the Utility Department at 2 Utility Drive in Palm Coast.
The public is invited to a City Hall grand opening celebration Tuesday, Nov. 3. Tours will be offered from 4 to 8 p.m. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin at 5:15 p.m., and the Palm Coast City Council will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the community wing section of the new facility.
The new facility is located at 160 Lake Ave. in Town Center — adjacent to Central Park and the City Centre office building.
