The new Ocoee City Hall welcomed staff and residents to its new home on Thursday, Sept. 8. 

The city of Ocoee and Wharton-Smith, Inc. Construction Group celebrated the ribbon cutting ceremony and open house with refreshments, entertainment and more. 

“One of the main purposes is that we are moving more to the center of town,” Mayor Rusty Johnson said. “It’s in a better location here, and it’s also more accessible to citizens to come in and get service for their stuff.”

The new City Hall, which we told you about here, spans more than 46,000 square feet and was built with a health and wellness theme in mind. 

The City Hall is a central part of the city’s downtown redevelopment plan. The master plan includes more than $44 million capital projects that aim to enhance the public spaces in downtown Ocoee and some of the key infrastructure of the city.
