On Proposition 1, Juneau voters will decide whether to authorize borrowing up to $35 million to help pay for a new City Hall. City officials say that if the measure fails, they’ll have to make a major investment to repair the existing building.
The City and Borough of Juneau’s design team shared this rendering of what a new City Hall building could look like at 450 Whittier Street during a public forum in May 2022. The design is not final.
Public Works and Engineering Director Katie Koester has estimated the cost at about $12 million to keep it viable for another 25 years.. “But you can’t paint the facade without repairing the plaster. You can’t repair the plaster without fixing the windows. Then you need to replace the windows – so it escalates very quickly.”
The new City Hall would let the city centralize its office workers and public-facing services, end its leases for extra office space, and free up apartments and other space downtown for the private sector.
