Richardson City Hall is closed until further notice due to a fire that caused significant damage early Monday. Though the most severe damage is confined to the first floor, smoke and water damage has been found throughout the building.  

Several departments/services have set up temporary offices at the Ray Noah Municipal Court Building; see article below for more information. City Council meetings have temporarily moved to the Library’s Basement Program Room. 

Preliminary findings indicate the cause of the fire was an electrical failure–it is not believed to be connected to any storm activity that was occurring in the area at the time of the incident. It will be several months before the repairs to the building are complete.
