This week, the Richardson City Council received an update on progress toward the Library renovation and construction of the new City Hall.
Renovation work on the Library is now 50% complete, with a revised reopening date set for mid-2026. The project timeline was extended after demolition activities revealed unforeseen construction challenges, which also increased costs. To address these issues, the Council on Monday approved an additional $1.15 million to cover expenses and provide contingency funding.
Meanwhile, construction on the new City Hall reached an important milestone this month with the foundation poured and the first vertical movement on structures now taking place. The project remains on track for an early-2027 opening.
At Monday’s meeting, Council reviewed recent aerial photos of the municipal campus as well as interior progress photos of the Library renovation. Residents can follow the projects online through timelapse views and live images, updated every 15 minutes.
