More than six months after a new City Hall was opened to the public in Provo, demolition began on the old city center, which was built in 1972.
The old city hall was built to serve a population of 55,000 and city leaders say that after 50 years in service, the building no longer met the needs of residents.
On Wednesday, Mayor Michelle Kaufusi took the first swing to begin the demolition work, which is expected to last about three months. “The tearing down of Provo’s old City Center is the final step in moving forward with our visionary redevelopment of downtown Provo,” said Kaufusi in a press release. “We now begin the process of determining the ‘best and highest use’ of this land for our citizens by rebuilding Fire Station 1 as the first phase of our efforts.”
