The City of Surrey's website says a new $97-million city hall will be officially open for business on February 17, 2014.
A grand opening event for the 180,000-square-foot facility is planned, but a date has not yet been set.
At one point, the website had September 2013 as the targeted grand opening date, but Surrey’s general manager of human resources Nicola Webb has said the building has always been scheduled for completion in fall 2013.
In late October, Councillor Linda Hepner said while IT is in the building already, Surrey council will be the last to make the move to its new digs.
“I think that probably over the next several weeks, people will be moving in, but mayor and council, I believe, are the last to go,” Hepner said. “We’re scheduled to go sometime in December.”
The new city hall is accompanied by City Hall Plaza, an outdoor civic square that will connect city hall, the City Centre Library, 3 Civic Plaza and SFU.
