City Of Foley Adds Office Space

The Foley City Council approved the purchase of a 3,000-ft² prefabricated building to house offices of the municipal finance department. The building will include 12 offices and a conference room. Mayor Ralph Hellmich said the new building will help the city keep up with the demand for services as the area grows. The new building will be placed on property now owned by the city behind Foley City Hall. Workers using the new facility will be able to use the current municipal parking area. Several other projects now underway, or which will begin soon, will also create more space for city departments. The city is scheduled to break ground in early 2025 on a new library complex. The completion of that facility will provide space in the current library building. The Public Works Department facility at East Section Avenue and North Pecan Street is scheduled to be completed in 2025. That project will allow other offices to be moved into the current Public Works building.
