Normandy Park City Manager’s Report for week ending Oct. 20, 2023
Normandy Park City Manager’s Report for week ending Oct. 20, 2023. Important meeting on the City Hall Park Property – October 30th @ 7:00 p.m. As reported this summer in the City Scene Magazine, the City continues to look at options for a new City Hall and Police Station. When we asked for feedback on this issue last year, residents said we needed to minimize costs. And many supported something located on First Avenue to support public safety. So, we started looking at options other than new construction at City Hall Park. As a result, we are currently reviewing an opportunity to purchase an existing building on First Avenue at the Towne Center Development. Before the City Council approves this project, much planning and work is still needed.
