Monroe unveils its new $17M City Hall and municipal court

MONROE — Local and state officials celebrated the nearly completed Monroe City Hall and municipal court on Monday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the unveiling of a new city flag.

Construction of the new municipal campus began in 2023, costing approximately $17 million, according to city officials. The sale of municipal bonds paid for the bulk of the project, while a real estate tax will provide for future property payments.

“As new people move here, they’re helping to contribute to the work that occurred,” Monroe Mayor Geoffrey Thomas said Monday in public remarks.

The city hall building will hold new offices for all city departments, including administration, parks, public works and community development.
