The first 2-3 months of the project will focus on environmental abatement inside the building. There will be no impact on the annual Tinsel Trail in Big Spring Park or any other holiday activities in the park.

The building will be dismantled by mechanical means and will not be imploded. The former City Hall opened in 1965 and closed earlier this year.

The contractor will leave the site ready for the future Big Spring Park East Expansion project.
