On Wednesday, the City of St. Cloud hosted an Open House event, allowing the community to explore the newly renovated City Hall. The event celebrated the completion of extensive renovations across all three floors of the building, aimed at enhancing the quality of service and convenience for residents.
During the Open House, attendees had the opportunity to engage with representatives from various city departments and local government entities, including City Manager Veronica Miller, Fire Marshall Richard Tonks and his team, Osceola County Tax Collector Bruce Vickers, Osceola County Clerk & Comptroller Kelvin Soto and his team, and representatives from Toho Water Authority.
The renovations, completed in 2024, were funded through a combination of the city’s general fund and revenue from building permits. The general fund covered the first-floor renovations and site work, while permit revenues financed the second and third-floor additions, including the new escalator.
City Manager Veronica Miller expressed enthusiasm about the new additions, stating, “We were so happy to welcome everyone here to the newly expanded City Hall’s Open House. We had so many residents come in to city hall to explore the new 3-story addition improvements, including some offices and new public spaces designed to make it much more convenient for our residents to access city services. It’s been a great day for staff and for the residents. Thank you St. Cloud!”
The expanded City Hall now offers a centralized location for residents to handle a variety of needs, including those related to the city, Toho Water Authority, and the Osceola County Tax Collector. Starting in late July, the Osceola County Clerk of Court & Comptroller Kelvin Soto will begin offering additional services at City Hall, such as permits, payment of fines, and even marriage licenses.
The Open House event was a great success, reflecting the city’s commitment to improving service delivery and making it easier for residents to access the services they need.
