*And Trick or Treating!

New City Hall Location: 36300 Warren Rd.

The move is complete! The City of Westland has moved its municipal offices into the new Warren Road location (the former Circuit City). Now, the City Administration invites residents and their friends and family to this special Dedication Ceremony and Open House - which will include Trick or Treating.

"The move to our new City Hall is an historic event for our All-American City," said Mayor William R. Wild. "For the first time in almost 50 years, municipal services will be conducted in a new, state of the art, welcoming and ADA-compliant facility."

The retrofitted 64,000 square foot facility, ideally located in the heart of Westland's "Shop and Dine" district, is a $10 million retrofit of a long vacant commercial building, being funded with tax revenues generated by the City's Tax Increment Finance Authority. This move will result in a more functional City Hall, with 5 times the space, allowing The Department of Public Service Administration, the Building and Planning Departments, the Youth Assistance Program and the City's Cable Department, WLND, to join the current City Hall Departments under one roof.

"We have already received a great positive response on the new building," added Mayor Wild. "I am excited for the community to come together for this special evening and see the improvements in the New City Hall for themselves."
