Gilbert cut the ribbon Dec. 14 on its renovated town hall building, Municipal I.
Intended to be one of three municipal buildings when first built in 1992, the building has strained to accommodate the growing number of employees with the town’s explosive growth and without a third building ever coming online, Mayor Brigette Peterson said.
Led by Deputy Town Manager Mary Goodman, who spearheaded the project for Gilbert, the town opted to modernize the building and squeeze approximately 50 more workstations out of existing space rather than go to the expense of adding another building.
