The city of Troy says it’s terminating its lease of the current City Hall building on River Street.
Officials in Troy say they are delivering a letter to landlord First Columbia, activating the termination of the lease. Alex Horton, a spokesperson for the mayor, says a new home for city hall will be unveiled in the coming weeks, and officials expect to relocate out of the Hedley Park Place building by January 2027.
“This is a procedural step in the long way to processing and fulfilling the mayor’s promise to the people to find a permanent home for city hall,” Horton said.
The city has been renting space in the building for more than a decade. Annually, the city pays roughly $400,000 for space on the fifth floor.
City council Democrats have criticized the plan to relocate, saying the city has more important priorities.
