(Richmond, Texas)- The City Commission approved a construction contract with Construction Masters in the amount of $6,728,800 for the renovation of Richmond’s future City Hall, located at 1517 Thompson Road.

The project will repurpose the existing structure to create a modern, efficient, and community-focused facility while maintaining cost-conscious stewardship of public resources. Once complete, the new City Hall will bring together essential city services under one roof, providing a convenient central location for residents to pay utility bills, attend municipal court, participate in pre-development meetings, and engage in City Commission meetings. The facility will also house the Commission Chamber, Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and administrative offices. Construction is anticipated to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2026.

“This renovation represents a significant investment in our city’s future,” said Mayor Becky Haas. “By reusing an existing building, we’re being both fiscally responsible and environmentally conscious, creating a functional space that supports our staff, serves our residents, and reflects the character of Richmond.”

The new City Hall will serve as a central hub for local government and community interaction—an investment that strengthens Richmond’s foundation as the city continues to grow and evolve.
