We’ve Moved! Our City Hall administrative staff have relocated to 34 South Broad Street, Unit 101. We opened to the public in the new location on Monday, January 5, 2026. We also have expanded hours: Mon-Thu, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The old City Hall is still home to our Public Works Department and Police Department. Our new space is home to the mayor, city treasurer, city clerk, and deputy clerk/treasurer. The drop box for payments to the City will remain outside the old building at 125 South First Street and be checked daily. The window outside the main door will serve as a new notice board for postings like agendas at the new location. Be sure to check the City website and agendas to see where meetings will take place—some will be in our new space while others may be in our old building or elsewhere.
