Construction is one thing the Covid-19 pandemic has not stopped. To that end, work on the new Fayetteville City Hall and City Center Park is well underway.
The former Fayette County Board of Education building came down on Oct. 30, followed by grading and infrastructure work in the following months. Today, the new 2-story City Hall building is going vertical, with the move-in date expected in May 2021.
A previous update on the 34,000 sq. ft. project was provided by Comprehensive Program Services representative Steven Mauro.
Once completed, the 10-acre site will also include the City Center Park to the rear of the property.
Amenities for the 8-acre park space include a concrete stream, children’s splash pad and playground, walk-around pond, picnic pavilion, a grand lawn with performance facilities, dog park, and will also incorporate renovations of two existing structures, the historic Fayette County High School Gymnasium and the old bus barn.
Mauro said city staff were adamant in wanting to make the playground great. A sampling of what will be featured in the playground area includes a tot lot, a rock-climbing wall, a log scramble, splash pad and swings and baskets, he said.
Architect Jefferson Browne will incorporate the design of the bus barn and the old gym, with the gym serving as a potential event venue and the bus barn possibly functioning for purposes such as a brewery, tasting room or food venue, Mauro said.
