City hall getting new address for same location

The Electric City Council passed a resolution Tuesday changing the city hall address from 10 Western Avenue to 10 Stevens Avenue. The change came from the removal of the stretch of Western in front of city hall in a construction project currently being worked on that is to eventually include a larger parking lot in front of city hall.

The resolution passed 4-1, with Councilmember Birdie Hensley voting no.

City Administrator Russ Powers said the city prints its letters and other documents as needed, so no additional cost would be accrued on stationary because of the change of address.
