The city of Meridian has finalized the purchase of the old Meridian Creamery that will eventually become the new city hall. The purchase was final on Aug. 3.
City officials said the two-acre site, in historic downtown Meridian between Main Street and Meridian Road and Broadway Avenue, was chosen for its central location.
The dilapidated creamery site is being secured by a chain link fence and demolition is scheduled to begin in six- to eight-weeks. The new city hall will be a four-story, 80,000-square-foot building featuring a public plaza and "water feature."
The city purchased the property for $2.4 million, and city leaders say staff may move in during spring 2008.
The project’s architects, LCA of Boise, are currently working on site plan concepts, and construction management firm Petra Inc., of Meridian, is making preparations for site demolition.
