City center renovation delayed; staff anticipate mid‑September opening

City staff updated the Planning and Zoning Commission that renovations to the Whitehouse city center are ongoing and that supply delays for exterior stone have slowed completion of the exterior work. Inside the building, staff said, finishing work is progressing — paint is on walls and contractors are waiting for permanent power to be installed so flooring and ceilings can be completed. Staff said they are anticipating an opening in mid‑September if remaining materials arrive and installations proceed as scheduled. Why it matters: The city center is a public facility that will house municipal functions; the new opening timeline affects the move schedule for departments and services. Staff characterized the delay as supply‑chain related and said interior progress is steady. No budgetary adjustments or contract changes were discussed during the update.
