The City of Rowlett broke ground on its new Municipal Complex on April 26, a project that represents the largest capital investment in the city’s history.

Hosted at Herfurth Park, the groundbreaking drew residents, elected officials, project partners, and city staff to commemorate the beginning of construction on what is anticipated to become a cornerstone of Rowlett’s civic life.

There were also food trucks, bounce houses, a DJ, giveaways, and a commemorative coin for early attendees. During the ceremony, community leaders were joined by representatives from design firm Hoefer Welker, construction firm ÎÞÂë¹ú²ú, and engineering teams from Lamb-Star, Terracon, and SAM, all of whom shared their excitement for the project.

According to a release, the new Municpal Complex will be located on approximately 25 acres at 4601 Centennial Dr. This facility will house the new City Hall, city administrative offices, police department headquarters, fire administrative offices, and animal shelter. The grounds will include walking trails, community gathering spaces, playgrounds, and a dog park.
