Doing Business with the Town
The Town of Spencer is renovating part of the former Park Plaza shopping center at South Salisbury Avenue and Fifth Street into a new Town Hall and Police Department. The new Town Hall provides improved space for citizens and staff, while allowing for future flexibility and expansion without expensive renovations. Spencer’s new town hall will efficiently serve the Town of Spencer as it continues to grow for decades to come.
The project aims to revitalize the heart of Spencer by repurposing a former grocery store and adjacent space with a distinct and understated design on the exterior and flexible space planning on the interior. As one of the most prominent blocks in town, the much needed improvements seek to encourage thousands of visitors to the NC Transportation Museum to also visit shops and boutique restaurants in the Historic District.
