UPDATE :City Hall Project is in City of Kennewick capital budget fy 2025-2026 CIP ________________________________________________________________________ $40 million for new city hall The 60-year-old city hall, located south of downtown at 210 West 6th Ave., has risen as the top priority for elected officials and staff. A new building on the campus is likely to cost $30-40 million, although the city is also weighing millions in much-needed renovations and maintenance. About $7.5 million in improvements over the next two years are needed for the existing building, but that doesn’t account for $4 million for a leaky roof that has dumped rainwater onto employee desks. The larger projects include at least $1 million each to replace the building’s failing HVAC system and make significant technology upgrades. Simply renovating the city hall allows for a lower cost upfront and minimal disruption to city operations. But according to city documents, it also limits long-term scalability, keeps ongoing maintenance costs high, and future costs to replace the aging facility would only rise. To contrast, a new city hall would cost less in the long term but bear a higher initial price. It would improve government function overall and provides a long-term solution for city services. ______________ Replace existing City Hall, located at 210 W. 6th Ave. with a new 44,000 sq. ft. facility. The current City Hall was built in 1964 and is nearing the end of its useful life without requiring significant improvements and repairs. As of January 10, 2024, this project is included in the City of Kennewick's FY 2023-2028 CIP and funding is allotted for FY 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
