Troutdale's New City Hall Location

The old Troutdale city hall has been vacated.  After close examination by experts they determined the 90 year old building was at the end of it's life unless extensive repairs were made.  The engineers determined that to repair the building would cost $3.4m and to tear down and replace would cost $2.4 m. Obviously we wouldn't want to replicate a design from 90 years ago for a variety of reasons.

As a result we have rented office space in our downtown.  There are two locations and operations have been split up because we couldn't find one location to house everyone.  But we are making it work.

You will find the city council chambers and courtroom on the lower level at 219 East Columbia River Highway and the administrative offices at 321 East Columbia River Highway. The 219 location is where you can go to pay your water bills and court fines. The other location houses our city manager, finance director and others.

The next step will be to determine how much office space we need currently and in the future. After all, the majority of the floor space in the old city hall was used for a dance hall. The dance hall was used as a fund raiser to pay for the building which cost $3,700 back in 1922.
