New City Hall

Why a new city hall?

Since shortly after incorporation in 2016, Millcreek has been leasing space for our City Hall. The current lease on our space in a converted thrift store at 3330 South 1300 East is set to expire in June of 2023 (after a total of 7 years) and we understand that the landlord desires to redevelop this property. This means that we need to begin planning for a permanent location.

For some time, the City Council and staff have been exploring ideas about relocating City Hall. We have had a third-party consultant survey Millcreek residents and we have had an open poll advertised in the City’s paper and electronic newsletters on this issue. We have hired an architectural firm to advise us on the City’s future space needs and we have been thinking of incorporating our UPD Precinct headquarters into the project. With all this in mind, we are beginning to formulate conclusions that a new City Hall should be owned by the city, should be located next to open space, should be useful to the Millcreek Community, and should be located in the new Millcreek Common project area.

-Mayor Jeff Silvestrini

MHTN Architects continues to work closely with city and community leaders on fleshing out details for the new Millcreek City Hall. Located at 1330 E Chambers Avenue (3205 South), the new Millcreek City Hall will have the following amenities:

Ground Floor:

Public Market
Cafe
Restaurant entrepreneur incubator space
Open area for rotating market events

Second Floor:

125-seat City Council chamber ("Community Forum")
Reception area for City Hall and UPD

Third Floor:

UPD Millcreek Precinct headquarters

Fourth/Fifth Floor:

City employee offices & conference rooms

Sixth Floor:

175-seat Community Room accessible for rentals by the public

Ground is expected to be broken on the new City Hall in Spring 2022, with the building completion anticipated before the end of June 2023. Construction is being financed through municipal bonds that bear a 2.14% interest rate. The bonds will be paid through current revenues, and do not increase the city’s debt load beyond debt carried by most other cities in Salt Lake County.

Ground Floor - Public Market
2nd Floor - Council Chambers and reception area for City Hall & UPD
Floor 6 - Community Room available to general public to rent for events
