Residents are invited to celebrate Milton’s ninth birthday during a groundbreaking ceremony of the new City Hall.

The ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1 at the intersection of Branyan Trail & Lecoma Trace in downtown Crabapple.

Set to open in April 2017, the city has set aside money in preparation of one day building a new home for the majority of its operations, said Mayor Joe Lockwood.

Plus, city funds will no longer be used to lease property taxpayers do not own, which is an important step to ensuring the most value for resident dollars.

“We’re excited to not only be giving the residents of the city of Milton a beautiful, welcoming and functional City Hall complex - we’re doing it without adding to their tax bills,” Lockwood added. “With smart budgeting and judicious use of our yearly fund balance, we’ll be able to bring these projects to fruition without the additional burden of more revenue from property taxes.”

The City Hall complex, which will be located between Crabapple Road and the existing Braeburn development, is slated to include offices, council chambers, meeting areas for residents and a town green for expansion of special events in Crabapple.
