Big News for Santa Rosa!

On August 18, the City Council approved a property exchange that would move City Hall to 520 Third Street. This saves money long-term and creates new opportunities for downtown. The current City Hall campus is more than 60 years old and needs major repairs. The new location is already built, safer, and will cost much less to maintain.

Here are some of the community benefits:

Revenue for local services: Housing and activity at the current City Hall site would bring more downtown spending and new public revenue to support basic services our community values.

Better public service: Creates an all-in-one City services center that is easier, faster, safer, and more accessible for community members.

Housing: Adds new homes downtown, close to jobs, transit, and services.

Economic growth: Brings new businesses, new jobs, more activity, and a more vibrant, walkable city center.

Together, we’re building a stronger, more vibrant downtown for Santa Rosa’s future. 🌳🏘️✨
