The city of East Point will start the work week off in new surroundings on Monday. April 30 was a historic day for the city of East Point as it unveiled its new City Hall in the heart of downtown East Point.

The 32,000-square-foot facility includes city offices, a multi-purpose City Council Chamber, a water feature, and an outdoor amphitheater for hosting events and activities to entertain thousands of people.

City staff took residents and visitors on a tour of the state-of-the-art facility. Over the weekend, the Department of Planning and Community Development will transition and move into the new facility at 2757 East Point Street.

The former site of an inactive fire station at the corner of East Point Street and West Cleveland Avenue is now the city’s new home.

“The city is leading the way and our state-of-the art facility will be catalytic for equitable economic

development in our downtown area,” said Mayor Deana Holiday Ingraham. “We are so proud that our

new City Hall will be a community building for all to enjoy and that our staff and city leaders will have a

new place to call home.”
