HOLLY SPRINGS, GA — Gilbane Building joined the City of Holly Springs, the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, and CPL to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Holly Springs City Hall, a centerpiece of the Town Center development. This milestone marks the next chapter in creating a walkable downtown that will serve as a hub for civic engagement and community life.
The new City Hall will consolidate city government operations under one roof and is intended to stand as a symbol of Holly Springs’ growth and commitment to its residents.
“City Hall will house all of our government operations and also be a symbol of the future that we share together as a community,” Holly Springs Mayor Ryan Shirley said. “This is another step forward in our story in becoming the city that we want to be. The Town Center will be a place that brings music, laughter, and countless memories for generations.”
Gilbane was selected by the Holly Springs City Council as construction manager at risk for the $19.25 million project, providing preconstruction services, value engineering, guaranteed maximum pricing, and construction management.
“The new City Hall will serve as a lasting centerpiece for Holly Springs’ future,” said Brian Steed, Vice President at Gilbane Building. “With our deep experience in managing complex civic projects, Gilbane is proud to bring best-in-class construction experience to ensure City Hall reflects the community’s vision.”
