The restoration of City Hall is expected to be completed by mid-2026.

This is according to City Engineer, Colvern Venture, during a recent press conference at the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development.

Venture says it will be another 6 months before the public can access the interior of Georgetown’s historic City Hall, as final works continue on the compound.

“There are some minor works to be completed then we have to do some upgrades to the City Engineer building which has a similar fashion so that will be upgraded very shortly and then we will move on to the other building that houses the Mayor’s office,” Venture said.

The restoration of City Hall is expected to be completed by mid-2026.

Restoration of the iconic structure began in 2021 under a $780M contract.

The works included structural strengthening, roof/ceiling replacement, woodwork and façade repairs to preserve its historical grandeur.

Once completed, the restoration is expected to return full functionality to the City Hall compound while preserving its historic character.
