Ground was broken at the Boardman City Hall this week on an expansion for new building department offices.
The construction of the 4,084-square-foot expansion was awarded to 2KG Contractors Inc., of Portland. The new addition will have its own entrance to the building and will include offices, a conference room, a public waiting room, and public restrooms.
The Boardman City Council voted in June of 2022 to do the expansion. The cost of the project will be funded through already accumulated building department funds received from building permit fees. Oregon State law has restrictions on how building department revenues may be spent, allowing only those funds to be spent on building department expenses. There will be no revenues spent from tax dollars the city receives.
A preliminary construction schedule shows a completion date for the project of Jan. 16, 2024. For more information regarding this project, City Manager Pro Tem Richard Stokoe may be reached at Boardman City Hall at 541-481-9252.
